$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at its two ends conducts an amount of heat '$Q_1$' in time '$t$'. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of length four times the length of the original rod. The amount of heat conducted by the new rod when placed in thermal contact with the same two reservoirs in time '$t$' is '$Q_2$'. Then $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$ is:

An ice cube of dimensions $60\,cm \times 50\,cm \times 20\,cm$ is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness $1\,cm$.
