The temperature of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab, consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$ and thickness $x$ and $4x$ , respectively are $T_2$ and $T_1$ ($T_2$ > $T_1$). The rate of heat transfer through the slab, in a steady state is $\left( {\frac{{A({T_2} - {T_1})K}}{x}} \right)f$, with $f $ which equal to
  • A$1$
  • B$\frac{1}{2}$
  • C$\frac{2}{3}$
  • D$\frac{1}{3}$
