Solution

The correct option is A K1=K4andK2=K3
Given that θC=θD
Let temperature of A=θ1
Temperature of B=θ2
Therefore,θC=K1θ1+K2θ2K1+K2
and, θD=K3θ1+K4θ2K3+K4
As the temperature of both the node are same,on equating both of them we find,
K1θ1+K2θ2K1+K2=K3θ1+K4θ2K3+K4
K1θ1K3+K1θ1K4+K2θ2K4=K1θ1K3+K1θ2K4+K2θ1K3+K2θ2K4
k2k3(θ1θ2)=k1k4(θ1θ2)
K1K4=K2K3
