Answer #1

my dear u forgot to mention the thermal conductivity of goose down and wool. I have given solution in which u just have to put the value of thermal conductivity and u will get the results. Else give me the values in comment section and I will calculate the final answer..... Please like my work...if any doubts please feel free to ask...atleast before disliking...best of luck
