Three identical rods have been joined at a junction to make a $Y$-shaped structure. If two free ends are maintained at $90\,^{\circ}C$ and the third end is at $30\,^{\circ}C$,what is the junction temperature $\theta$ in $^{\circ}C$?

Four identical rods of the same material are joined end to end to form a square. If the temperature difference between the ends of a diagonal is $100^{\circ}C$,then the temperature difference between the ends of the other diagonal will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.

Two identical metal wires of thermal conductivities $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively are connected in series. The effective thermal conductivity of the combination is

Two plates of thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$,cross-sectional areas $A_1$ and $A_2$,and the same thickness $l$ are joined as shown in the figure. The equivalent thermal conductivity $k$ of the combination is:

An insulated container is filled with ice at $0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$,and another container is filled with water that is continuously boiling at $100\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. In a series of experiments,the containers are connected by various thick metal rods that pass through the walls of the container as shown in the figure.
In experiment $I$: a copper rod is used and all ice melts in $20$ minutes.
In experiment $II$: a steel rod of identical dimensions is used and all ice melts in $80$ minutes.
In experiment $III$: both the rods are used in series and all ice melts in $t_{10}$ minutes.
In experiment $IV$: both rods are used in parallel and all ice melts in $t_{20}$ minutes.

Two identical conducting rods are first connected independently in parallel to two vessels,one containing water at $100^oC$ and the other containing ice at $0^oC$. In the second case,the rods are joined end to end (in series) and connected to the same vessels. Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ $g/s$ be the rate of melting of ice in the two cases respectively. The ratio of $q_1/q_2$ is
