Conduction: The thermal conductivity of aluminum is twice that of brass. Two rods (one aluminum and the other brass) of the same length and cross-sectional area are joined together end to end. The free end of the brass rod is maintained at 0°C and the free end of the aluminum rod is maintained at 200°C. If no heat escapes from the sides of the rods, what is the temperature at the place where the two rods are joined together?

A. 76°C
B. 133°C
C. 148°C
D. 155°C
