$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$,each made of different materials. Both layers are of the same thickness. The thermal conductivity of material $A$ is twice that of $B$. If in the steady state,the temperature difference across the wall is $24^{\circ} C$,then the temperature difference across the layer $B$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $12$
  • C

Two rectangular blocks,having identical dimensions,can be arranged either in configuration $I$ or in configuration $II$ as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity $k$ and the other $2k$. The temperature difference between the ends along the $x$-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes $9 \ s$ to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to the cold end in the configuration $I$. The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration $II$ is: (in $s$)
