Three rods of identical dimensions but made of materials of conductivities \(K,~2K,~K\) are connected in series. The two ends \(A~,B\) are maintained at temperatures of \(0~^{\circ} \text{C},~100~^{\circ} \text{C}\) respectively. Assume no loss of heat from the sides. The temperatures of the junctions \(X,~Y\) are:
                  
1. \(25~^\circ\text C,~75~^\circ\text C\)
2. \(40~^\circ\text C,~60~^\circ\text C\)

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. \(88.5^\circ \text{C}\)

In the Arctic region, hemispherical houses called Igloos are made of ice. It is possible to maintain a temperature inside an Igloo as high as \(20^\circ \text{C}\) because:

1. ice has a high thermal conductivity.
2. ice has low thermal conductivity.
3. ice has a high specific heat.
4. ice has a higher density than water.

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. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L+4s}\)

What is the temperature of the steel-copper junction in the steady-state of the system shown in the figure? The length of the steel rod = \(15.0\) cm, length of the copper rod = \(10.0\) cm, temperature of the furnace = \(300^{\circ}\text{C}\), temperature of the other end = \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\). The area of the cross section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel = \(50.2 ~\text{J s}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1};\) and of copper \(= 385~\text{J s}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1})\).

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).
