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 \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). A block of ice at \(0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) 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 \(= 3.36\times10^{5}~\text{JKg}^{-1}\))

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. \(T_A>T_C>T_B\)
A piece of iron is heated in a flame. If it becomes dull red first, then becomes reddish yellow, and finally turns to white hot, the correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using:
1. | Stefan's law | 2. | Wien's displacement law |
3. | Kirchhoff's law | 4. | Newton's law of cooling |
The diagram shows a bimetallic strip used as a thermostat in a circuit. Copper expands more than Invar for the same temperature rise.

3. | motor and bell only | 4. | lamp, bell, and motor |
Assertion (A): | While measuring the thermal conductivity of liquid experimentally, the upper layer is kept hot and the lower layer is kept cold. |

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. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
