Two rods of identical dimensions are joined end-to-end, and the ends of the composite rod are kept at \(0^\circ\text{C}\) and \(100^\circ\text{C}\) (as shown in the diagram). The temperature of the joint is found to be \(40^\circ\text{C}.\) Assuming no loss of heat through the sides of the rods, the ratio of the conductivities of the rods \(\dfrac{K_1}{K_2}\) is:

1. \(\dfrac32\) 2. \(\dfrac23\)
3. \(\dfrac11\) 4. \(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt2}\)

Uniform rods with the same lengths & cross-sections are connected end-to-end between two bodies which are maintained at \(0^\circ\text C\) & \(100^\circ\text C,\) as shown in the figure. Heat flows through the rods from the hotter body to the colder body; there being no loss through the sides of the rods. The conductivity of the rods are indicated as multiples of \(K.\) \(\theta\) indicates, in each case, the steady-state temperature at a junction (in Column I). The value of \(\theta\) is indicated in Column II, but these are in a different order. Match them.
Column I Column II

Two bodies \(A,B\) are maintained at temperatures \(\theta_A=100^\circ\text C\) and \(\theta_B=0^\circ\text C.\) Two thermally conducting rods \((P,~Q)\) of different conductivities and of different dimensions are connected between \(A\) and \(B.\) The conductivity of \(P\) is twice that of \(Q.\) The sides of the rods are insulated. If the mid-points of the two rods are connected to each other by a thin conducting wire (after equilibrium is reached),
1. heat would flow from \(P\) to \(Q\).
2. heat would flow from \(Q\) to \(P\).
3. no flow of heat occurs between \(P\) & \(Q\).
4. flow of heat may occur back and forth between \(P\) & \(Q,\) varying with time.

Four identical-sized insulated rods are connected as shown in the figure, making thermal contact at their ends. The junctions \(A,B\) are maintained at temperatures of \(100^\circ\text C\) & \(0^\circ\text C,\) respectively. The conductivities of the rods are \(K_1,K_2,K_3\) & \(K_4\) respectively. It is observed that the temperatures of junctions \(C,D\) are equal. Then, it can be concluded that:

1. \(K_1=K_2\) & \(K_3=K_4\)
2. \(K_1=K_2=K_3=K_4\)
3. \(K_1K_4=K_2K_3\)
4. \(K_1K_3=K_2K_4\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Thermal conduction occurs only in the presence of a temperature gradient.
Reason (R): In the absence of a temperature gradient (i.e., no temperature difference in space), thermal energy – which is transferred due to molecular (or particle) collisions, cannot be transferred in any particular direction.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

If two rods, of identical dimensions but made of materials with conductivity \(K_1\) and \(K_2,\) are placed end-to-end, the combination behaves as a single rod of (average) conductivity \(K.\) Then, \(K\) satisfies:
      
1. \(K=K_1+K_2\)     2. \(K=\dfrac{K_1+K_2}{2}\)    
3. \(\dfrac{1}{K}=\dfrac{1}{K_1}+\dfrac{1}{K_2}\) 4. \(\Large\frac{2}{K}=\frac{1}{K_1}+\frac{1}{K_2}\)
