Hey there!

When Copper sulphate and iron nail are put together then the reactions occurs is: 

Fe(s) + CuSO₄ (aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu (s)

As we know the colour copper sulphate solution is blue in colour. When we put iron nail in it , copper forms brown coloured coating on iron nail. The solution's colour also changes to light green colour. 

Hence, it is a displacement reaction as iron is more reactive than copper and copper is displaced to form ferrous sulphate solution.

Hope It Helps YoU!
