Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K _{1}, K _{2},$ and $K _{3}$, respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the ther at $0^{\circ} C$ (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between $K _{1}, K _{2}$ and $K _{3}$ is
