Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K_{1}, K_{2},$ and $K_{3}$,respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod. One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other at $0^{\circ} C$. If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod,the correct relationship between $K_{1}, K_{2}$ and $K_{3}$ is:

The walls of a closed cubical box of edge $60 \text{ cm}$ are made of material of thickness $1 \text{ mm}$ and thermal conductivity $4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cal s}^{-1} \text{ cm}^{-1} {}^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$. The interior of the box is maintained $1000^{\circ}\text{C}$ above the outside temperature by a heater placed inside the box and connected across a $400 \text{ V}$ $DC$ supply. The resistance of the heater is: (in $Omega$)
