    Consider two rods 1 and 2 of same length. They have different specific heats (C1,C2)(C_1, C_2), thermal conductivities (K1,K2)(K_1, K_2) and area of cross-section (A1,A2)(A_1, A_2) respectively. Both the rods have temperatures (T1,T2)(T_1, T_2) at their ends. If their rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then
