Three identical rods `AB`, `CD` and `PQ` are joined as shown. `P` and `Q` are mid points of `AB` and `CD` respectively. Ends `A`, `B`, `C` and `D` are maintained at `0^(@)C`, `100^(@)C`, `30^(@)C` and `60^(@)C` respectively. The direction of heat flow in `PQ` is

A

From `P` to `Q`

B

From Q to P

C

Heat does not flow in `PQ`

D

Data not sufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`T_(p) = 50 ^(@)C, T_(Q) = 45^(@)C`
`therefore` Heat will flow from `P` to `Q`.
