Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A star with absolute magnitude -6 is intrinsically more luminous than a star with magnitude +4. The difference is 10 magnitudes, so the difference in luminosity is a factor of 100 for the first 5 magnitudes and a factor of 100 for the second 5 magnitudes, making an overall difference of a factor of 1002 = 10,000.
