Four rods of indentical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of a square. The temperature of two diagonally opposite points are $\theta$ and $\sqrt2 \theta$ respectively in the  teady state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, what will be the temperature difference between other two points ?
  • A$(\sqrt2-1)\theta$
  • B$\frac{{\sqrt 2 \, + \,1}}{2}\theta $
  • C$\frac{{\sqrt 2 \, - \,1}}{\sqrt2}\theta $
  • D$0$

    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
