Solution

The correct option is D
Equation of thermal conductivity of the given combination $K_{e q} = \frac{l_{1} + l_{2}}{\frac{l_{1}}{K_{1}} + \frac{l_{2}}{K_{2}}} = \frac{x + 4 x}{\frac{x}{K} + \frac{4 x}{2 K}} = \frac{5}{3} K$ . Hence rate of
flow of heat through the given combination is $\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{K_{e q} . A (T_{2} - T_{1}))}{(x + 4 x)} = \frac{\frac{5}{3} K A (T_{2} - T_{1})}{5 x} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} K A (T_{2} - T_{1})}{x}$
On comparing it with given equation we get $f = \frac{1}{3}$
