Two sheets of thickness $d$ and $2d$ and the same area are touching each other on their faces. The temperatures $T_A$,$T_B$,and $T_C$ shown are in a geometric progression with a common ratio $r = 2$. Then,the ratio of the thermal conductivity of the thinner sheet to the thicker sheet is:

Two bars of thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ and lengths $1\, cm$ and $2\, cm$ respectively have equal cross-sectional area. They are joined length-wise as shown in the figure. If the temperatures at the ends of this composite bar are $0\,^{\circ}C$ and $100\,^{\circ}C$ respectively,then the temperature $\varphi$ of the interface is......... $^oC$.

The length of a metal rod is $20 \ cm$ and its area of cross-section is $4 \ cm^2$. If one end of the rod is kept at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ and the other end is kept in ice at $0^{\circ} C$,then the mass of the ice melted in $7 \ minutes$ is (Thermal conductivity of the metal $= 90 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 336 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) (in $g$)

$A$ metal rod $AB$ of length $10x$ has its one end $A$ in ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end $B$ in water at $100^{\circ}C$. If a point $P$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ}C$,then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ cal/g$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ cal/g$. If the point $P$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $A$,find the value of $\lambda$. (Neglect any heat loss to the surrounding.)

If two metallic plates of equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ are put together face to face and a common plate is constructed,then the equivalent thermal conductivity of this plate will be

Two metallic blocks $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ of the same cross-sectional area are connected to each other as shown in the figure. If the thermal conductivity of $M_{2}$ is $K$,then the thermal conductivity of $M_{1}$ will be $xK$. Find the value of $x$. [Assume steady-state heat conduction]
