$A$,$B$ and $C$ are three identical conductors but made from different materials. They are kept in contact as shown. Their thermal conductivities are $K$,$2K$ and $K/2$. The free end of $A$ is at $100^{\circ} C$ and the free end of $C$ is at $0^{\circ} C$. During steady state,the temperature of the junction of $A$ and $B$ is nearly (in $^{\circ} C$)

$A$ composite rod is made of three rods of equal length and cross-section as shown in the figure. The thermal conductivities of the materials of the rods are $K/2, 5K$ and $K$ respectively. The ends $A$ and $B$ are at constant temperatures. All heat entering the face $A$ goes out of the end $B$,with no loss of heat from the sides of the bar. The effective thermal conductivity of the bar is:
