first layer=k(1)=k.
second layer=k(2)=2k(given).
third layer=k(3)=k.
first layer thickness=H.
second layer thichness=2H.
third layer thickness=H.
Average(k) = k * H+2k*2H+k*H/H+2H+H=1.5k.
second layer=k(2)=2k(given).
third layer=k(3)=k.
first layer thickness=H.
second layer thichness=2H.
third layer thickness=H.
Average(k) = k * H+2k*2H+k*H/H+2H+H=1.5k.

Here, [K+2K+K]/3 = 1.33.

@Saba.
How 4k/4 is 1.33?
