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.

  • A
    $45$
  • B
