A slab of stone with an area \(0.36~\text{m}^{2}\) and thickness of \(0.1~\text{m}\) is exposed on the lower surface to steam at \(100​​^\circ\text{C}.\) A block of ice at \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\) rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour \(4.8~\text{kg}\) of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the slab will be:
(Given latent heat of fusion of ice \(= 3.36\times10^{5}~\text{JKg}^{-1}\))
1. \(1.29~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)
2. \(2.05~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)
3. \(1.02~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)
4. \(1.24~\text{J/m/s/}^{\circ}\text{C}\)

Two conducting slabs of heat conductivity \(K_{1} ~\text{and}~K_{2}\) are joined as shown in figure. If the temperature at the ends of the slabs are \(\theta_{1}~\text{and}~\theta_{2} \ (\theta_{1}   >   \theta_{2} ),  \) then the final temperature \( \left(\theta\right)_{m} \) of the junction will be:

Three stars \(A,\) \(B,\) and \(C\) have surface temperatures \(T_A,~T_B\) and \(T_C\) respectively. Star \(A\) appears bluish, star \(B\) appears reddish and star \(C\) yellowish. Hence:
1. \(T_A>T_B>T_C\)
2. \(T_B>T_C>T_A\)
3. \(T_C>T_B>T_A\)
4. \(T_A>T_C>T_B\)

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a \(0.20~\text{kg}\) block of the metal at \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent of \(0.025~\text{kg}\)) containing \(150~\text{cm}^{3}\) of water at \(27^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The final temperature is \(40^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The specific heat of the metal will be: 
(the heat losses to the surroundings are negligible)
1. \(0 . 40  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
2. \(0 . 43  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
3. \(0 . 54 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
4. \(0 . 61 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
