The lengths and radii of two rods made of same material are in the ratios $1 : 2$ and $2 : 3$ respectively. If the temperature difference between the ends for the two rods be the same, then in the steady state, the amount of heat flowing per second through them will be in the ratio

Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A= 0^oC$ and $T_B = 100^oC$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time, the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :

The rate of heat flow through the cross-section of the rod shown in figure is ($T_2 > T_1$ and thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is $K$)

When two ends of a rod wrapped with cotton are maintained at different temperatures and after some time every point of the rod attains a constant temperature, then

Radius of a conductor increases uniformly from left end to right end as shown in fig.Material of the conductor is isotropic and its curved surface is thermally isolated from surrounding. Its ends are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ ($T_1$ > $T_2$): If, in steady state, heat flow rate is equal to $H$ , then which of the following graphs is correct
