detailed solution

Correct option is C

In series slabs are,for 2 slabs of same thickness l having coefficient of thermal conductivities K1,K2 is since, in series effective resistance is Rseries=R1+R2 Resistance is R=lKA, here l = thickness, K=coefficient of thermal conductivity, A=area of cross section Rseries=R1+R2 l+lKseriesA=lK1A+lK2A  ⇒Kseries=2K1K2K1+K2
