Two rods of the same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12 \ s$ when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined lengthwise parallel to each other,they will transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions in a time of: (in $s$)

$A$ metallic prong consists of $4$ rods made of the same material,with the same cross-sections and the same lengths as shown below. The three forked ends are kept at $100^{\circ} C$ and the handle end is at $0^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the junction is ............. $^{\circ} C$.

$A$ composite metal bar of uniform cross-section is made up of a length of $25 \ cm$ of copper,$10 \ cm$ of nickel,and $15 \ cm$ of aluminium. Each part is in perfect thermal contact with the adjoining part. The copper end of the composite rod is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and the aluminium end at $0^{\circ}C$. The whole rod is covered with an insulating belt so that no heat loss occurs at the sides. If $K_{\text{Cu}} = 2K_{\text{Al}}$ and $K_{\text{Al}} = 3K_{\text{Ni}}$,what will be the temperatures of the $\text{Cu-Ni}$ and $\text{Ni-Al}$ junctions,respectively?
