The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper, mercury and glass are respectively $Kc, Km$ and $Kg$ such that $Kc > Km > Kg$ . If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $Xc, Xm$ and $Xg$ , then
  • A${X_c} = {X_m} = {X_g}$
  • B${X_c} > {X_m} > {X_g}$
  • C${X_c} < {X_m} < {X_g}$
  • D${X_m} < {X_c} < {X_g}$
