Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\theta_{1} R _{2}+\theta_{2} R _{1}}{ R _{1}+ R _{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heat flow rate will be same through both

\(\therefore \frac{\theta_{1}-\theta}{ R _{1}}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{2}}{ R _{2}}\)

\(R _{2} \theta_{1}- R _{2} \theta= R _{1} \theta- R _{1} \theta_{2}\)

\(\theta=\frac{ R _{2} \theta_{1}+ R _{1} \theta_{2}}{ R _{1}+ R _{2}}\)
