use the concept of steady state ...
three rods of identical cross sectional area and made of 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 ,the temperature of ponit C is TC. Assume that only heat conducton takes place . find the ratio TC/T .

heat flow from A to B = heat flow from A to C + heat flow from C to B
simplifying u will get
(√2T - T )/a = (Tc - T)/√2a + (√2T - Tc )/a
u will get Tc = T ..
and this is also correct logically ...
