The temperature drop through each layer of a two layer furnace wall is shown in figure. Assume that the external temperature $T_1$ and $T_3$ are maintained constant and $T_1 > T_3$. If the thickness of the layers $x_1$ and $x_2$ are the same, which of the following statements are correct.

If two metallic plates of equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities ${K_1}$ and ${K_2}$ are put together face to face and a common plate is constructed, then the equivalent thermal conductivity of this plate will be

Two sheets of thickness $d$ and $3d$, are touching each other. The temperature just outside the thinner sheet side is $A$, and on the side of the thicker sheet is $C$. The interface temperature is $B. A, B$ and $C$ are in arithmetic progressing, the ratio of thermal conductivity of thinner sheet and thicker sheet is

Ice starts forming in lake with water at ${0^o}C$ and when the atmospheric temperature is $ – {10^o}C$. If the time taken for $1 \;cm$ of ice be $7$ hours, then the time taken for the thickness of ice to change from $1\; cm$ to $2\; cm$ is

A brass boiler has a base area of $0.15\; m ^{2}$ and thickness $1.0\; cm .$ It boils water at the rate of $6.0\; kg / min$ when placed on a gas stove. Estimate the temperature (in $^oC$) of the part of the flame in contact with the boiler. Thermal conductivity of brass $=109 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1} ;$ Heat of vaporisation of water $=2256 \times 10^{3}\; J kg ^{-1}$
