Two identical conducting rods are first connected independently to two vessels, one containing water at 100°C and the other containing ice at 0°C. In the second case, the rods are joined end to end and connected to the same vessels. Let q1 and q2 g s-1 be the rate of melting of ice in two cases, respectively. The ratio of q1q2 is
