Two rods \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\)  of equal length and having cross-sections \(A_P\)and \(A_Q\) respectively, have the same temperature difference across their ends. If \(k_P\) and \(k_Q\) are their thermal conductivities, then the condition for their equal rate of conduction of heat will be:
1. \(k_PA_P = k_QA_Q\)
2. \(\frac{\sqrt{k_P}}{A_P} - \frac{\sqrt{k_Q}}{A_Q}\)
3. \(k_PA_Q = k_QA_P\)
4. \(k^2_PA_P = k^2_QA_Q\)
