The heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of the same material. The diameters of the rods are in the ratio $1:2$ and their lengths are in the ratio $2:1$. If the temperature difference between their ends is the same,the ratio of the rate of flow of heat through them will be:

  • A
    $1:1$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $1:4$
  • D

Three metal rods made of copper, brass, and steel, each with a cross-sectional area of $4 \,cm^2$, are joined as shown in the figure. Their lengths are $46 \,cm, 13 \,cm$, and $12 \,cm$ respectively. Their coefficients of thermal conductivity are $0.92, 0.26$, and $0.12$ respectively, all in $CGS$ units. The rods are thermally insulated from the surroundings except at the ends. The rate of flow of heat through the copper rod, in $cal \,s^{-1}$, is:
