Physics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 22 January, Shift 1

Three conductors of same length having thermal conductivity k1k_1, k2k_2, and k3k_3 are connected as shown in figure. Area of cross sections of 1st and 2nd conductor are same and for 3rd conductor it is double of the 1st conductor. The temperatures are given in the figure. In steady state condition, the value of θ\theta is _____ C^\circ\text{C}. (Given: k1k_1 = 60Js1m1K160 \, \text{Js}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}, k2k_2 = 120Js1m1K1120 \, \text{Js}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}, k3k_3 = 135Js1m1K1135 \, \text{Js}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1})

Conductors 1 (thermal conductivity k1) and 2 (k2) are connected side by side, in parallel, between the end held at 100 degrees Celsius and a junction held at theta degrees Celsius; conductor 3 (k3) runs from that junction to the far end held at 0 degrees Celsius.
