Three rods of identical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of an isosceles triangle ABC right angled at B. The points A and B are maintained at temperatures T and 2T, respectively, in the steady-state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, the temperature of the point C is

The correct answer is: 3T2+1
As TB > TA, heat flows from B to A through both paths BA and BCA.
Rate of heat flow in BC = Rate of heat flow in CA

            KA2T-Tcl=KATc-T2l

Solving this, we get    Tc=3T2+1
