Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity $2 K$ while that in the middle has thermal conductivity $K$. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature $3 T$ and the right end at $T$. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state, temperature at the left junction is $T_1$ and that at the right junction is $T_2$. The ratio $T_1 / T_2$ is
A container has two chambers of volumes $V_1=2$ litres and $V_2=3$ litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain $n_1=5$ and $n_2=4$ moles of ideal gas at pressures $p_1=1 \mathrm{~atm}$ and $p_2=2 \mathrm{~atm}$, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of
