detailed solution

Correct option is C

rate of transfer of heat is Qt=KA(θ1-θ2)l here k is coefficient of thermal conductivity A is area of cross section θ1-θ2 is temperature difference l is length of width  at steady state , heat transfer is constant temperature across layer  A is θ1-θ  temperature across layer  B is θ-θ2  Qt=K1A(θ1-θ)l1=K2A(θ-θ2)l2 3(θ1-θ)=12(θ-θ2)---(1) (θ1-θ2)=350C⇒θ2=θ1-35---(2) on substituting the value of θ2 from eqn(2) in eqn(1) ⇒3θ1-3θ=12θ-12θ1-35⇒6θ1-6θ=θ-θ1+35⇒7θ1-θ=35 θ1-θ=50C=temperature difference across layer A
