(N/A) double-walled flask or thermos bottle is an arrangement designed to minimize heat exchange between the surroundings and the system inside it. It consists of a cylindrical glass vessel with two walls.
$1$. $A$ silver coating is applied to both the inner and outer surfaces of these walls.
$2$. The inner silvered wall reflects thermal radiation back into the system,preventing heat loss.
$3$. The outer silvered wall reflects incoming thermal radiation from the surroundings,preventing heat gain.
$4$. The space between the two walls is evacuated (vacuum),which effectively eliminates heat transfer via conduction and convection.
$5$. The flask is sealed with an airtight insulating cork to prevent heat loss through evaporation or air circulation.
$6$. Consequently,the substance inside remains at its initial temperature (hot or cold) for an extended period.

In a steady state of thermal conduction,the temperatures of the ends $A$ and $B$ of a $20 \, cm$ long rod are $100^\circ C$ and $0^\circ C$ respectively. What will be the temperature of the rod at a point at a distance of $6 \, cm$ from the end $A$ of the rod (in $^\circ C$)?

For heat to flow from one end to the other in a solid,it is necessary to have:

$Assertion:$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason:$ Thickness increases because of the air layer enclosed between the two blankets.

The temperature gradient in a rod of length $75 \ cm$ is $40^{\circ} C/m$. If the temperature of the cooler end of the rod is $10^{\circ} C$,then the temperature of the hotter end is: (in $^{\circ} C$)
