Solution

The correct option is D K1=2K2
Given, Tinter=T1+T22
As heat flow throughout the slabs is same [steady state],
Q1=Q2 .......(1)
Rate of heat flow in slab -1 :Q1=K1A(T1T1+T22)2b=K1AT1T24b
Similarly:
Q2=K2A(T1+T22T2)b=K2AT1T22b
[Area A is the same]
From (1), we get
K12(T1T22)=K2(T1T22)
K12=K2 or K1=2K2
Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
