Solution

The correct option is D $\frac{(K_{1} + K_{2})}{2}$
From the diagram we can observe that both the rods are in parallel, then the total heat transfer will we be the sum of heat transfer from both the rods i.e.,
$H_{t o t a l} = H_{A} + H_{B}$
As we know, $H = K A \frac{Δ t}{d}$
$K_{t o t a l} A_{t o t a l} \frac{Δ t}{d} = K_{1} A_{1} \frac{Δ t}{d} + K_{2} A_{2} \frac{Δ t}{d}$
Assuming, $A_{1} = A_{2} = A$
then, $A_{t o t a l} = A_{1} + A_{2} = 2 A$
$K_{t o t a l} 2 A = K_{1} A + K_{2} A$
$K_{t o t a l} = \frac{K_{1} + K_{2}}{2}$
