$A$ 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.)

$A$ 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).
