Three rods $AB$, $BC$, and $BD$ made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. The ends $A$, $C$, and $D$ are held at temperatures of $20^{\circ} C$, $80^{\circ} C$, and $80^{\circ} C$ respectively. If each rod is of the same length, then the temperature at the junction $B$ of the three rods is: (in $^{\circ} C$)

$A$ wall is made of two layers of thickness $1\ cm$ and $4\ cm$ and thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ respectively. If the temperature difference across the wall is $50\ ^oC$,then the temperature difference across the thin layer will be

Two rods having the same cross-sectional area are used to connect two reservoirs at temperatures $100\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$ as shown. The temperature of the junction is $70\,^{\circ}C$. If the rods are now interchanged,the temperature of the junction will be ......... $^{\circ}C$.

An insulated container is filled with ice at $0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$,and another container is filled with water that is continuously boiling at $100\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. In a series of experiments,the containers are connected by various thick metal rods that pass through the walls of the container as shown in the figure.
In experiment $I$: a copper rod is used and all ice melts in $20$ minutes.
In experiment $II$: a steel rod of identical dimensions is used and all ice melts in $80$ minutes.
In experiment $III$: both the rods are used in series and all ice melts in $t_{10}$ minutes.
In experiment $IV$: both rods are used in parallel and all ice melts in $t_{20}$ minutes.

For the figure shown,when arcs $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of the same material,the total heat current carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$. If $ADB$ is replaced with another material,the total heat current becomes $2H$. If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$,what is the ratio of the new thermal conductivity to the old thermal conductivity of the arc $ADB$?

$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$,each made of different materials. Both layers are of the same thickness. The thermal conductivity of material $A$ is twice that of $B$. If in the steady state,the temperature difference across the wall is $24^{\circ} C$,then the temperature difference across the layer $B$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)
