Two vessels A and B of different materia...

Two vessels A and B of different materials but having identical shape, size and wall-thickness are filled with ice and kep at the same plane. Ice melts at the rate of `100 g min^(-1)` and `150 g min^(-1)` in A and B respectively. Assuming that heat enters the vessels through the walls only, calculate the ratio of thermal conductivity of their materials.
