$\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{\mathrm{KA}}{\mathrm{L}}(100-40), \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{\mathrm{KA}}{\mathrm{L}}(40-0)$

$\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{AD}}-\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{DC}}$ so $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{1} 00+0}{2}=50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

    A sphere of ice at $0^o C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^o C$. The ice melts uniformly, such that shape remains spherical. After a time $‘t’$ the radius of the sphere has reduced to$r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment, which graph best depicts $r (t)$.
