Question
Assertion : Blue star is at high temperature than red star.
Reason : Wein's displacement law states that $T \propto\left(1 / \lambda_m\right)$.

Answer

(a) From Wein's displacement law, temperature $(T) \propto 1 / \lambda_m$(where(\lambda_m$ is the maximum wavelength). Thus temperature of a body is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Since blue star has smaller wavelength and red star has maximum wavelength, therefore blue star is at higher temperature then red star.

Assertion : Acceleration is proportional to the displacement. This condition is not sufficient for motion in simple harmonic.
Reason : In simple harmonic motion direction of displacement is also considered.
Assertion : In a common emitter transistor amplifier the input current is much less than the output current.
Reason : The common emitter transistor amplifier has very high input impedance.
Assertion : When a body is dropped or thrown horizontally from the same height, it would reach the ground at the same time.
Reason : Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.
Assertion : Horizontal range is same for angle of projection $\theta$ and $(90-\theta)$.
Reason : Horizontal range is independent of angle of projection.
Assertion : The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more.
Reason : Objective lens of large diameter collects more light.
Assertion : A negative acceleration of a body is associated with a slowing down of a body.
Reason $\quad:$ Acceleration is vector quantity.
Assertion : When a body is subjected to a uniform acceleration, it always move in a straight line.
Reason : Straight line motion is the natural tendency of the body.
Assertion : In projectile motion, the angle between the instantaneous velocity and acceleration at the highest point is $180^{\circ}\
Reason : At the highest point, velocity of projectile will be in horizontal direction only.
Assertion : Work done by or against gravitational force in moving a body from one point to another is independent of the actual path followed between the two points.
Reason : Gravitational forces are conservative forces.
Assertion : The electrical conductivity of earth's atmosphere decreases with altitude.
Reason : The high energy particles (i.e. $\gamma$-rays and cosmic rays) coming from outer space and entering our earth's atmosphere cause ionisation of the atoms of the gases present there and the pressure of gases decreases with increase in altitude.
