On investigation of light from three different stars $A, B$ and $C$, it was found that in the spectrum of $A$ the intensity of red colour is maximum, in $B$ the intensity of blue colour is maximum and in $C$ the intensity of yellow colour is maximum. From these observations, it can be concluded that

  • A
    The temperature of $A$ is maximum, $B$ is minimum and $C$ is intermediate
  • B
    The temperature of $A$ is maximum, $C$ is minimum and $B$ is intermediate
  • C
    The temperature of $B$ is maximum, $A$ is minimum and $C$ is intermediate
  • D
    The temperature of $C$ is maximum, $B$ is minimum and $A$ is intermediate
