Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K_{1}, K_{2},$ and $K_{3}$,respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod. One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other at $0^{\circ} C$. If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod,the correct relationship between $K_{1}, K_{2}$ and $K_{3}$ is:

  • A
    $K_{1}: K_{3}=2: 3 ; K_{2}: K_{3}=2: 5$
  • B
    $K_{1}< K_{2}< K_{3}$
  • C
    $K_{1}: K_{2}=5: 2 ; K_{1}: K_{3}=3: 5$
  • D
    $K_{1}> K_{2}> K_{3}$

$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at its two ends conducts an amount of heat '$Q_1$' in time '$t$'. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of length four times the length of the original rod. The amount of heat conducted by the new rod when placed in thermal contact with the same two reservoirs in time '$t$' is '$Q_2$'. Then $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$ is:
