Two rods one made of copper and other made of steel of the same length and same cross sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are $385\,J\,s ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}\,m ^{-1}$ and $50\,J\,s ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}\,m ^{-1}$ respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at $100^{\circ}\,C$ and $0^{\circ}\,C$ respectively. The temperature at the junction is, nearly $.......^{\circ}\,C$

$\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t }=\frac{385 A (100-\theta)}{\ell}=\frac{50 A (\theta-0)}{\ell}$

$\Rightarrow 77(100-\theta)=10 \theta \Rightarrow 7700-77 \theta=10 \theta$

$\Rightarrow 87 \theta=7700$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{7700}{87}=88.5^{\circ}\,C$

    Two bottles $A$ and $B$ have radii $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ and heights $h_{A}$ and $h_{B}$ respectively, with $R_{B}=2 R_{A}$ and $h_{B}=2 h_{A}$. These are filled with hot water at $60^{\circ} C$. Consider that heat loss for the bottles takes place only from side surfaces. If the time, the water takes to cool down to $50^{\circ} C$ is $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ for bottles $A$ and $B$, respectively. Then, $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ are best related as
