Two plates of equal areas are placed in ...

Two plates of equal areas are placed in contact wih each other. Their thickness are 2.0 cm and 5.0 cm respectively. The temperature of the external surface of the first plate is `-20^(@)C` and that of the external surface of the second plate is `20^(@)C`. What will be the temperature of the current surface if the plates (i) are of the same material, (ii) have thermal conductivities in the ratio `2:5`.
