$A$ rod of length $L$ and uniform cross-sectional area has varying thermal conductivity which changes linearly from $2K$ at end $A$ to $K$ at the other end $B$. The ends $A$ and $B$ of the rod are maintained at constant temperatures $100^oC$ and $0^oC$, respectively. At steady state, the graph of temperature $T = T(x)$, where $x$ is the distance from end $A$, will be:

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C
