Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):

Houses made of concrete roofs overlaid with foam keep the room hotter during
summer.

Reason (R):

The layer of foam insulation prohibits heat transfer, as it contains air pockets.


In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (R).

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity \(2K\) while that in the middle has thermal conductivity \(K\). The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature \(3T\) and the right end at \(T.\) The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In the steady state, temperature at the left junction is \(T_1\) and that at the right junction is \(T_2\). The ratio \(\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{5}{3}\) 2. \(\dfrac{5}{4}\)
3. \(\dfrac{3}{2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{4}{3}\)

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:
