Two metal rods $P$ and $Q$ have the same length and the same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$,and their cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. If the rate of flow of heat through rod $Q$ is three times that in rod $P$,then:

  • A
    $K_1 A_1 = 3 K_2 A_2$
  • B
    $3 K_1 A_1 = K_2 A_2$
  • C
    $3 K_1 A_1 = 2 K_2 A_2$
  • D
    $2 K_1 A_1 = 3 K_2 A_2$

Two rectangular blocks $A$ and $B$ of different metals have the same length and the same area of cross-section. They are kept in such a way that their cross-sectional areas touch each other. The temperature at one end of $A$ is $100^{\circ}C$ and that of $B$ at the other end is $0^{\circ}C$. If the ratio of their thermal conductivities is $1 : 3$,then under steady state,the temperature of the junction in contact will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.
