Detailed Solution

Let the thermal resistance of each rod be R.
The two resistances connected along two paths from B to C are equivalent to 2R each and their parallel combination is R. Effective thermal resistance between B and D = 2R 

 Temperature of interface θ=R1θ2+R2θ1R1+R2

θ=R×20+2R×200R+2R=4203=140C
