A composite rod of uniform cross-section...

A composite rod of uniform cross-section has copper and aluminium sections of the same length in good thermal contact. The ends of the rod, which is well-lagged, are maintained at `100^(@)C` and at` 0^(@)C` as shown in the diagram (Figure-4.33). The thermal conductivityof copper is twice that of aluminium.
Which one of the following graphs represents the variation of temperature T with x along the rod in the steady state ?
