Here; $\mathrm{K}_{1}=\mathrm{K}_{2}, l_{1}=l_{2}=1 \mathrm{m}$

$A_{1}=2 A, A_{2}=A$

$\mathrm{T}_{1}=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{2}=70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

$\therefore$ Temperature at $\mathrm{C}$ be $\mathrm{T},$ then

$\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}=\frac{K 2 A(100-T)}{1}=\frac{K A(T-70)}{1}$

or $T=90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
