A composite block is made of slabs $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ of different thermal conductivities (given in terms of a constant $K$ ) and sizes (given in terms of length, $L$ ) as shown in the figure. All slabs are of same width. Heat $'Q'$ flows only from left to right through the blocks. Then in steady state $Image$

$(A)$ heat flow through $A$ and $E$ slabs are same.

$(B)$ heat flow through slab $E$ is maximum.

$(C)$ temperature difference across slab $E$ is smallest.

$(D)$ heat flow through $C =$ heat flow through $B +$ heat flow through $D$.

One end of a thermally insulated rod is kept at a temperature $T_1$ and the other at $T_2$. The rod is composed of two sections of lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two sections is

A rod $C D$ of thermal resistance $10.0\; {KW}^{-1}$ is joined at the middle of an identical rod ${AB}$ as shown in figure, The end $A, B$ and $D$ are maintained at $200^{\circ} {C}, 100^{\circ} {C}$ and $125^{\circ} {C}$ respectively. The heat current in ${CD}$ is ${P}$ watt. The value of ${P}$ is ... .
