Two thin blankets keep more hotness than one blanket of thickness equal to these two. The reason is

(1) Their surface area increases

(2) A layer of air is formed between these two blankets, which is bad conductor

(3) These have more wool

(4) They absorb more heat from outside

Ice formed over lakes has

1. Very high thermal conductivity and helps in further ice formation
2. Very low conductivity and retards further formation of ice
3. It permits quick convection and retards further formation of ice
4. It is very good radiator

Wires A and B have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of A is twice the radius of B i.e. rA=2rB . For a given temperature difference between the two ends, both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by

(1) KA=4KB                     
(2) KA=2KB
(3) KA=KB/2                   
(4) KA=KB/4
