    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 \[100{}^\circ C\]and B is at\[25{}^\circ C\]. Then the junction C is at

    A)  \[55{}^\circ C~\]

    B)  \[60{}^\circ C\]

    C)  \[75{}^\circ C\]

    D)  \[50{}^\circ C\]

    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) \[\therefore \] \[\frac{2}{3}=\frac{\theta -25}{100-\theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[3\theta -27=200-2\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[5\theta -275\] \[\theta -{{55}^{o}}C\]
