Value of temperature gradient is $80\,^oC/m$ on a rod of $0.5\,m$ length. Temperature of hot end is $30\,^oC$, then what is the temperature of cold end ?

A partition wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ in contact, each made of a different material. They have the same thickness but the thermal conductivity of layer $A$ is twice that of layer $B$. If the steady state temperature difference across the wall is $60K$, then the corresponding difference across the layer $A$ is ....... $K$
