A cylinder of radius R made of material of conductivity K1 is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of internal radius R and outer radius 2R made of material of conductivity K2, the two ends of the system are kept at two different temperatures. If there is no loss of heat from the surface, the effective conductivity of the system is
