$A$ composite slab consists of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$,and thicknesses $x$ and $4x$ respectively. The temperatures of the two outer surfaces of the composite slab are $T_2$ and $T_1$ $(T_2 > T_1)$. The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is $\left[\frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x}\right] \cdot f$,where '$f$' is equal to:
