TWO CONDUCTING plates each of area A are separated by distance d and they are parallel to each other. A conducting medium of varying conductivity fills space between them. the conductivity varies linearly σ to 2σ as we move from one plate to another. Find resistance of the medium.

For this kind of cases, you have to take a differential element of dx width. Form a relation for conductivity as a function of x and find the resistance of the elementary part. Final step is decide the elementary resistances are in series or parallel, accordingly try to integrate.
