$A$ wall is made up of two layers $A$ and $B$ . The thickness of the two layers is the same, but materials are different. The thermal conductivity of $A$ is double than that of $B$ . In thermal equilibrium the temperature difference between the two ends is ${36^o}C$. Then the difference of temperature at the two surfaces of $A$ will be ....... $^oC$
