A copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths $(L)$ are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure

If heat flows through them from $x = 0$ to $x = 2L$ at a steady rate and conductivities of the metals are $K_{cu}$ and $K_{steel}$ $(K_{cu} > K_{steel}),$ then the temperature varies as (convection and radiation are negligible)
