Assertion : Between any two given energy levels,the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason : Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.

During the transition of an electron from state $A$ to state $C$ of a Bohr atom,the wavelength of the emitted radiation is $2000 \ \mathring A$ and it becomes $6000 \ \mathring A$ when the electron jumps from state $B$ to state $C.$ Then the wavelength of the radiation emitted during the transition of electrons from state $A$ to state $B$ is
