Solution

The correct option is C TA>TC>TB
According to Wien's Displacement law we know that:-
λ=bT(1).

Given that three stars A,B and C where A appears bluish, B appears reddish and C appears yellowish.

We know that λblue<λyellow<λRed
λA<λC<λB.....(2)

from (1) and (2) we get
TA>TC>TB

Hence option (A) is correct
