Two identical rods of copper and iron are coated with wax uniformly. When one end of each is kept at the temperature of boiling water,the lengths up to which wax melts are $8.4 \ cm$ and $4.2 \ cm$ respectively. If the thermal conductivity of copper is $0.92$,then the thermal conductivity of iron is:

  • A
    $0.23$
  • B
    $0.46$
  • C
    $0.115$
  • D
    $0.69$
