          Assertion :               The equivalent thermal conductivity of two plates of same thickness in contact (series) is less than the smaller value of thermal conductivity.             
 Reason  :  For two plates of equal thickness in contact (series) the equivalent thermal conductivity is given by  [AIIMS 1997]
