Two coils require \(20\) minutes and \(60\) minutes respectively to produce the same amount of heat energy when connected separately to the same source. If they are connected in parallel arrangement to the same source; the time required to produce the same amount of heat by the combination of coils will be:
1. \(10\) min
2. \(30\) min
3. \(15\) min
4. \(25\) min
