$A$ metal rod $AB$ of length $10x$ has its one end $A$ in ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end $B$ in water at $100^{\circ}C$. If a point $P$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ}C$,then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ cal/g$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ cal/g$. If the point $P$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $A$,find the value of $\lambda$. (Neglect any heat loss to the surrounding.)

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^{\circ}C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^{\circ}C)$ as shown in the figure. The rods are laterally insulated. If $G_A$ and $G_B$ are the temperature gradients across rod $A$ (thermal conductivity $3K$) and rod $B$ (thermal conductivity $K$),then:

$A$ thermocol box has a total wall area (including the lid) of $1.0 \,m^2$ and wall thickness of $3 \,cm$. It is filled with ice at $0^{\circ} C$. If the average temperature outside the box is $30^{\circ} C$ throughout the day, the amount of ice that melts in one day is (Given: $K_{\text{thermocol}} = 0.03 \,W/mK$, $L_{\text{fusion(ice)}} = 3.00 \times 10^5 \,J/kg$) (in $\,kg$)

$A$ large cylindrical rod of length $L$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $(\frac{L}{2})$ each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of the copper rod is maintained at $100\,^oC$ and that of the steel rod at $0\,^oC$,then the temperature of the junction is........$^oC$ (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel).
