Solution

The correct option is A 2K1K2K1+K2
Let K be the thermal conductivity of the compound bar.
Heat current through the compound bar of length 2L is
H=KA(T1T2)2L(i)
At steady state, H=H1=H2
KA(T1T2)2L=K1A(T1T0)L ......(II)
Substituting the value of T0 from Eq (i) in (ii), we get
K(T1T2)2=K1[T1(K1T1+K2T2K1+K2)]
=K1K2(T1T2)(K1+K2)
=2K1K2K1+K2
