(b) $\frac{{50 - 49.9}}{5} = K\,\left( {\frac{{50 + 49.9}}{2} - 30} \right)$…..$(i)$
$\frac{{40 - 39.9}}{t} = K\,\left[ {\frac{{40 + 39.9}}{2} - 30} \right]$…..$(ii)$
from equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$

we get $t ≈ 10 sec$ .

    Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K _{1}, K _{2},$ and $K _{3}$, respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the ther at $0^{\circ} C$ (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at  $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between $K _{1}, K _{2}$ and $K _{3}$ is
