Two metal cubes $A$ and $B$ of the same size are arranged as shown in the figure. The ends of the combination are maintained at the indicated temperatures. The arrangement is thermally insulated. If the thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $300 \, W/m \, ^\circ C$ and $200 \, W/m \, ^\circ C$ respectively,find the temperature $t$ at the junction when the steady state is reached.

Wires $A$ and $B$ have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of $A$ is twice the radius of $B$,$i.e.$,${r_A} = 2{r_B}$. For a given temperature difference between the two ends,both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by:

Two vessels of different materials are similar in size in every respect. The same quantity of ice filled in them gets melted in $20$ minutes and $40$ minutes respectively. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials is
