The lengths and radii of two rods made of the same material are in the ratios $1:2$ and $2:3$ respectively. If the temperature difference between the ends for the two rods is the same,then in the steady state,the amount of heat flowing per second through them will be in the ratio:

  • A
    $1:3$
  • B
    $4:3$
  • C
    $8:9$
  • D
    $3:2$
