$A$ cylindrical steel rod of length $0.10 \,m$ and thermal conductivity $50 \,Wm^{-1}K^{-1}$ is welded end to end to a copper rod of thermal conductivity $400 \,Wm^{-1}K^{-1}$ and of the same area of cross-section but $0.20 \,m$ long. The free end of the steel rod is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and that of the copper rod at $0^{\circ}C$. Assuming that the rods are perfectly insulated from the surroundings,the temperature at the junction of the two rods is ................... $^{\circ}C$.

Four identical conducting rods are joined to form a square $ABCD$. The temperatures of junctions $A, B,$ and $C$ are maintained at $100^{\circ}C, 40^{\circ}C,$ and $0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Choose the $\text{INCORRECT}$ statement for this arrangement in a steady state. (The value of $\frac{KA}{L} = 1 \text{ J}/(s \cdot ^{\circ}C)$).

$A$ copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths $L$ are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure. If heat flows through them from $x = 0$ to $x = 2L$ at a steady rate and thermal conductivities of the metals are $K_{Cu}$ and $K_{Steel}$ $(K_{Cu} > K_{Steel})$,then the temperature varies as (convection and radiation are negligible):

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^{\circ}C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^{\circ}C)$ as shown in the figure. The rods are laterally insulated. If the thermal conductivities of rods $A$ and $B$ are $3K$ and $K$ respectively,and $T_A$ and $T_B$ are the temperature drops across rods $A$ and $B$,then:
