An insulated container is filled with ice at $0\,^oC$ , and another container is filled with water that is continuously boiling at $100\,^oC$ . In series of experiments, the containers are connected by various thick metal rods that pass through the walls of container as shown in the figure

In the experiment $I$ : a copper rod is used and all ice melts in $20$ minutes.

In the experiment $II$ : a steel rod of identical dimensions is used and all ice melts in $80$ minutes.

In the experiment $III$ : both the rods are used in series and all ice melts in $t_{10}$ minutes.

In the experiment $IV$ : both rods are used in parallel and all ice melts in $t_{20}$ minutes.

What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in Figure Length of the steel rod $=15.0\; cm ,$ length of the copper rod $=10.0\; cm ,$ temperature of the furnace $=300^{\circ} C ,$ temperature of the other end $=0^{\circ} C .$ The area of cross section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $=50.2 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1} ;$ and of copper $\left.=385 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}\right)$

Temperature difference of $120\,^oC$ is maintained between two ends of a uniform rod $AB$ of length $2L$.
