Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T _1=300 K$ and $T _2=100 K$, as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K _1$ and $K _2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 K$, then $K _1 / K _2=$ . . . . .

Two rods, one of aluminum and the other made of steel, having initial length ${l_1}$ and ${l_2}$ are connected together to form a single rod of length ${l_1} + {l_2}$. The coefficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are ${\alpha _a}$ and ${\alpha _s}$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature are raised by ${t^o}C$, then find the ratio $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{({l_1} + {l_2})}}$
