Three rods of copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a Y-shaped structure. Area of cross-section of each rod = `4 cm^2`. End of copper rod is maintained at `100^@C` where as ends of brass and steel rods are 46, 13 and 12 cms respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surrounding except at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are 0.92, 0.26 and 0.12 CGS units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is
