$\frac{θ_{1} R_{2} - θ_{2} R_{1}}{R_{2} - R_{1}}$

$\frac{θ_{2} R_{2} - θ_{1} R_{1}}{R_{2} - R_{1}}$

$\frac{θ_{1} R_{2} + θ_{2} R_{1}}{R_{1} + R_{2}}$

$\frac{θ_{1} R_{1} + θ_{2} R_{2}}{R_{1} + R_{2}}$

answer is C.

Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} At steady state, heat flow rate wil be same. \\ \Rightarrow \frac{θ_{1} - θ}{R_{1}} = \frac{θ - θ_{2}}{R_{2}} \\ \Rightarrow θ = \frac{θ_{1} R_{2} + θ_{2} R_{1}}{R_{1} + R_{2}} \end{array}$
