$A$ conducting rod of length $1 \,m$ has an area of cross-section $10^{-3} \,m^2$. One end is immersed in boiling water $(100^{\circ} C)$ and the other end in ice $(0^{\circ} C)$. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod is $96 \,cal/(s \cdot m \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and the latent heat of fusion for ice is $8 \times 10^4 \,cal/kg$,then the amount of ice that will melt in one minute is:

  • A
    $5.4 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • B
    $7.2 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • C
    $1.8 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • D
    $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$

According to the experiment of Ingen Hausz, the relation between the thermal conductivity $K$ of a metal rod and the length $l$ of the rod up to which the wax melts is:

Two rectangular blocks $A$ and $B$ of different metals have the same length and the same area of cross-section. They are kept in such a way that their cross-sectional areas touch each other. The temperature at one end of $A$ is $100^{\circ}C$ and that of $B$ at the other end is $0^{\circ}C$. If the ratio of their thermal conductivities is $1 : 3$,then under steady state,the temperature of the junction in contact will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.
