Two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity '\(3K\)' and '\(K\)' and thickness \(d\) and '\(3d\)' respectively, are joined to form a slab as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the outer surfaces are '\(\theta_1\)' and '\(\theta_2\)' respectively, (\(\theta_2>\theta_1\)). The temperature at the interface is:

                 
1. \( \frac{\theta_2+\theta_1}{2} \)
2. \( \frac{\theta_1}{2}+\frac{2 \theta_2}{3} \)
3. \( \frac{\theta_1}{10}+\frac{9 \theta_2}{10} \)
4. \(\frac{\theta_1}{6}+\frac{5 \theta_2}{6}\)

Three rods of identical cross-sections and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity \({K_1,K_2,K_3,}\) respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at \(100^\circ \mathrm{C}\) and the other at \(0^\circ \mathrm{C}\) (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at \(70^\circ \mathrm{C}\) and \(20^\circ \mathrm{C}\) in a steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between \({K_1,K_2,}\) and \({K_3}\) is:

  

1. \({K}_1:{K}_3=2: 3 ; {K}_2: {K}_3=2: 5 \)
2. \({K}_1<{K}_2<{K}_3 \)
3. \( {K}_1: {K}_2=5: 2 ; {K}_1: {K}_3=3: 5 \)
4. \({K}_1>{K}_2>{K}_3\)
