(a) Temperature of interface $\theta = \frac{{{K_1}{\theta _1}{l_2} + {K_2}{\theta _2}{l_1}}}{{{K_1}{l_2} + {K_2}{l_1}}}$

It is given that ${K_{Cu}} = 9{K_S}.$ So if ${K_S} = {K_1} = K$ then ${K_{Cu}} = {K_2} = 9K$

==> $\theta  = \frac{{9K \times 100 \times 6 + K \times 0 \times 18}}{{9K \times 6 + K \times 18}}$=$\frac{{5400K}}{{72K}} = 75^\circ C$
