  1. $k $ $ = 1$

  2. $k $ $ = 0$ 

  3. $k $ $ = 100$ 

  4. $k $ $ = \infty $

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If temperature of whole rod is same, it means that heat is being conducted from one end to other infinitely fast. This is possible only when thermal conductivity is infinite.
