Two closed containers of same dimensions made of different materials are completely filled with ice. The ice in the first container takes $20 \ min$ and that in the second container takes $10 \ min$,respectively,for complete melting. The ratio of the thermal conductivities of the materials of the two containers is . . . . . . .

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:
