The temperature drop through each layer of a two layer furnace wall is shown in figure. Assume that the external temperature $T_{1}$ and $T_{3}$ are maintained constant and $T_{1} > T_{3}$ . If the thickness of the layers $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ are the same, which of the following statements are correct.

K_{1} > K_{2}

K_{1} < K_{2}

K_{1} = K_{2}

but heat flow through material (1) is larger then through (2)

K_{1} = K_{2}

but heat flow through material (1) is less then through (2)
