Three rods of the same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3K, 2K$, and $K$. They are arranged as shown in the figure. The temperature of the junction in the steady state is:

The end $A$ of a rod $AB$ of length $1\,m$ is maintained at $80\,^{\circ}C$ and the end $B$ at $0\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature at a distance of $60\,cm$ from the end $A$ is......... $^{\circ}C$

$A$ room is maintained at $20^{\circ}C$ by a heater of resistance $20 \ \Omega$ connected to $200 \ V$ mains. The temperature is uniform throughout the room and heat is transmitted through a glass window of area $1 \ m^2$ and thickness $0.2 \ cm$. What will be the temperature outside in $^{\circ}C$? Given that thermal conductivity $K = 0.2 \ J/(s \cdot m \cdot K)$ for glass and $J = 4.2 \ J/cal$.

$A$ wall consists of two layers $A$ and $B$. The two layers have the same thickness but are made of different materials. The thermal conductivity of $A$ is twice that of $B$. Under steady-state conditions,the temperature difference between the two ends is $36 ^\circ C$. The temperature difference across the two surfaces of $A$ is .......... $^\circ C$.
