Two sheets of thickness $d$ and $3d$, are touching each other. The temperature just outside the thinner sheet side is $A$, and on the side of the thicker sheet is $C$. The interface temperature is $B. A, B$ and $C$ are in arithmetic progressing, the ratio of thermal conductivity of thinner sheet and thicker sheet is

Given $: L_{A}=d L_{B}=3 d$

As $T_{2}, T_{1}, T_{2} \& T_{3}$ are in arithmetic progression.

$\therefore 2 T_{1}=T_{2}+T_{2} \quad \Longrightarrow T_{1}=T_{2}$

Similarly, $2 T_{2}=T_{1}+T_{3}$

OR $\quad 2 T_{2}=T_{2}+T_{3} \quad T_{2}=T_{3}$

Using: $\frac{d Q_{A}}{d t}=\frac{d Q_{B}}{d t}$

$\therefore \frac{K_{A} A\left(T_{1}-T_{2}\right)}{L_{A}}=\frac{K_{B} A\left(T_{2}-T_{3}\right)}{L_{B}}$

OR $\quad \frac{K_{A}}{d}=\frac{K_{B}}{3 d}$

$\Longrightarrow K_{A}: K_{B}=1: 3$

    An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?

    ($A$) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform

    ($B$) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time

    ($C$) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up

    ($D$) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb
