What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in the figure? Length of the steel rod $= 15.0 \; cm,$ length of the copper rod $= 10.0 \; cm,$ temperature of the furnace $= 300^{\circ} C,$ temperature of the other end $= 0^{\circ} C.$ The area of cross-section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $= 50.2 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1};$ and of copper $= 385 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$)
