On observing light from three different stars $P, Q$ and $R$, it was found that the intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of $P$, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of $R$, and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of $Q$. If $T_P, T_Q$ and $T_R$ are the respective absolute temperatures of $P, Q$ and $R$, then it can be concluded from the above observations that:

  • A
    $T_P > T_R > T_Q$
  • B
    $T_P > T_Q > T_R$
  • C
    $T_P < T_R < T_Q$
  • D
    $T_P < T_Q < T_R$
