The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cryosurgery**: - Cryosurgery is a medical procedure that involves the application of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. The term "cryo" refers to low temperatures, and "surgery" indicates a medical intervention. 2. **Mechanism of Cryosurgery**: - The procedure typically uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the targeted tissue. This freezing process causes the cells in the tumor or wart to die due to the extreme cold, effectively damaging or destroying the tissue. 3. **Identifying the Purpose of Cryosurgery**: - Cryosurgery is primarily used to treat localized abnormal growths, such as warts and certain types of tumors. It is not typically used for conditions like gallbladder stones or widespread cancerous tumors. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: "Crush gallbladder stones" - This is incorrect as cryosurgery is not used for gallbladder stones. - **Option B**: "Destroy cancerous tumors" - While it can be used for some tumors, it is not effective for all cancerous tumors, especially those that are widespread. - **Option C**: "Warts and tumors" - This option correctly identifies the use of cryosurgery for treating localized abnormal growths like warts and certain tumors. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the understanding of what cryosurgery is and its applications, the correct answer is **Option C: Cryosurgery is resorted as warts and tumors**.

The figure shows the cross-section of the outer wall of a house buit in a hill-resort to keep the house insulated from the freezing temperature of outside. The wall consists of teak wood of thickness L_(1) and brick of thickness (L_(2) = 5L_(1)) , sandwitching two layers of an unknown material with identical thermal conductivites and thickness. The thermal conductivity of teak wood is K_(1) and that of brick is (K_(2) = 5K_(1)) . Heat conducion through the wall has reached a steady state with the temperature of three surfaces being known. (T_(1) = 25^(@)C, T_(2) = 20^(@)C and T_(5) = - 20^(@)C) . Find the interface temperature T_(4) and T_(3) .
