The temperature drop through each layer of a two layer furnace wall is shown in figure. Assume that the external temperature $T_1$ and $T_3$ are maintained constant and $T_1 > T_3$. If the thickness of the layers $x_1$ and $x_2$ are the same, which of the following statements are correct.
  • A$k_1 > k_2$
  • B$k_1 < k_2$
  • C$k_1 = k_2$ but heat flow through material $(1)$ is larger then through $(2)$
  • D$k_1 = k_2$ but heat flow through material $(1)$ is less than that through $(2)$

    Steel wire of length ' $L$ ' at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass ' $m$ ' is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length ' $L$ '. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$, Young's modulus of steel is $10^{11} N / m ^2$ and radius of the wire is $1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of ' $m$ ' in $kg$ is nearly

    Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method, where in one monitors, a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius $R$ and the parent star has radius $100 \,R$. If $I_0$ is the intensity observed on earth due to the parent star, then as the exoplanet transits
