Two conducting rods $A$ and $B$ of same length and cross-sectional area are connected $(i)$ In series $(ii)$ In parallel as shown. In both combination a temperature difference of $100^o C$ is maintained. If thermal conductivity of $A$ is $3K$ and that of $B$ is $K$ then the ratio of heat current flowing in parallel combination to that flowing in series combination is
