Two plates $A$ and $B$ have thermal conductivities $84 \, W m^{-1} K^{-1}$ and $126 \, W m^{-1} K^{-1}$ respectively. They have the same surface area and same thickness. They are placed in contact along their surfaces. If the temperatures of the outer surfaces of $A$ and $B$ are kept at $100^{\circ} C$ and $0^{\circ} C$ respectively,then the temperature of the surface of contact in steady state is $.......... \, ^{\circ} C$.
