    Two identical rods AC and CB made of two different metals having thermal conductivities in the ratio \[2:3\] are kept in contact with each other at the end C as shown in the figure. A is at \[{{100}^{o}}C\] and B is at \[{{25}^{o}}C\]. Then the junction C is at

    A)  \[{{55}^{o}}C\]                                

    B)  \[{{60}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{75}^{o}}C\]                                

    D)  \[{{50}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the temperature of the junction be \[\theta \]. Heat flow through the rod is given by                 \[Q=\frac{KA\,({{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}})\,t}{d}\] Here, \[{{K}_{1}}(100-\theta )={{K}_{2}}\,\,(\theta -25)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}=\frac{\theta -25}{100-\theta }\] But         \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{3}\]                             (given) \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{2}{3}=\frac{\theta -25}{100-\theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3\theta -75=200-2\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[5\,\theta =275\]                 \[\theta ={{55}^{o}}C\]
