Four identical conducting rods are joined to form a square $ABCD$. The temperatures of junctions $A, B,$ and $C$ are maintained at $100^{\circ}C, 40^{\circ}C,$ and $0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Choose the $\text{INCORRECT}$ statement for this arrangement in a steady state. (The value of $\frac{KA}{L} = 1 \text{ J}/(s \cdot ^{\circ}C)$).

  • A
    Heat current in $AB$ is equal to $1.5$ times the heat current in $BC$.
  • B
    Temperature of junction $D$ is $50^{\circ}C$.
  • C
    Heat current in $AB$ is equal to the heat current in $BC$.
  • D
    Heat current withdrawn at junction $B$ is $100 \text{ J/s}$.
