Question

Two identical conducting rods are first, connected independently to two vessels, one containing water at $$100oC$$ and the other containing ice at $$0oC$$. In the second case, rods are joined end to end and are connected to t same vessels .If $$q1$$ and $$q2$$ (in$$ $$g/s) are the rates of melting of ice in two cases, then the ratio of $$q1/q2$$ is $$_______$$.
