(d) $\frac{{{A_T}}}{{{A_{2000}}}} = \frac{{16}}{1}$ (given)
Area under ${e_\lambda } - \lambda $ curve represents the emissive power of body and emissive power $ \propto {T^4}$
(Hence area under ${e_\lambda } - \lambda $ curve) $ \propto {T^4}$

==>$\frac{{AT}}{{{A_{2000}}}} = {\left( {\frac{T}{{2000}}} \right)^4}$

==> $\frac{{16}}{1} = {\left( {\frac{T}{{2000}}} \right)^4}$==> $T = 4000K.$
