Five rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in the fig.They have thermal conductivities, k1,k2,k5,k4 and k3 when points A and B are maintained at different temperatures. No heat flows through the central rod if:
A
k1k4=k2k3

Solution
The correct option is Ak1k4=k2k3 No heat will pass if TC=TD and all lengths are equal k1(TD−TB)=k2(TC−TB) k3(TD−TA)=k4(TC−TA) Since TC=TD k1k3=k2k4 Thus, k1k4=k2k3
