$Assertion :$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason :$ Thickness increases because of air layer enclosed between the two blankets.

Three rods $AB, BC$ and $AC$ having thermal resistances of $10\, units, \,10 \,units$ and $20 \,units,$ respectively, are connected as shown in the figure. Ends $A$ and $C$ are maintained at constant temperatures of $100^o C$ and $0^o C,$ respectively. The rate at which the heat is crossing junction $B$ is   …….. $ \mathrm{units}$

Four rods of same material and having the same cross section and length have been joined, as shown. The temperature of junction of four rods will be…….. $^oC$

Two spheres of different materials one with double the radius and one-fourth wall thickness of the other, are filled with ice. If the time taken for complete melting ice in the large radius one is $25$ minutes and that for smaller one is $16$ minutes, the ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of larger sphere to the smaller sphere is

A metallic rod of cross-sectional area $9.0\,\,cm^2$ and length $0.54 \,\,m$, with the surface insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in ice-water mixture. The heat conducted through the rod melts the ice at the rate of $1 \,\,gm$ for every $33 \,\,sec$. The thermal conductivity of the rod is ……. $ Wm^{-1} K^{-1}$
