Two rods, one made of copper and the other made of steel, of the same length and same cross-sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are \(385~\text{Js}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\) and \(50~\text{Js}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\) respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at \(100^\circ \text{C}\) and \(0^\circ \text{C}\) respectively. The temperature at the junction is, nearly:
1. \(12^\circ \text{C}\)
2. \(50^\circ \text{C}\)
3. \(73^\circ \text{C}\)
4. \(88.5^\circ \text{C}\)

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. \(T_A>T_C>T_B\)

An object kept in a large room having an air temperature of \(25^\circ \text{C}\) takes \(12 ~\text{min}\) to cool from \(80^\circ \text{C}\) to \(70^\circ \text{C}.\) The time taken to cool for the same object from \(70^\circ \text{C}\) to \(60^\circ \text{C}\) would be nearly:
1. \(10 ~\text{min}\)
2. \(12 ~\text{min}\)

A deep rectangular pond of surface area \(A\), containing water (density = \(\rho,\) specific heat capacity = \(s\)), is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of \(-26^{\circ}\text{C}\). The thickness of the ice layer in this pond at a certain instant is \(x\). Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as \(k\), and its specific latent heat of fusion as \(L\), the rate of increase of the thickness of the ice layer, at this instant, would be given by:

1. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L-4s}\) 2. \(\dfrac{26k}{x^2\rho L}\)
3. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L}\) 4. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L+4s}\)
