I have a solution containing multiple projects. I went to properties -> application -> then in Assembly information I found one GUID, I checked this GUID on multiple sites to find out what type of project is it. but it isn't matching with any of those. I think the GUID I need is the Project Type GUID and am not able to find this. So where can I get this Project Type GUID? (I am using VS-2013)

There is no place in Visual Studio that explicitly shows "project type GUID", it is implicitly shown by set of features available to particular project.
The value found in "properties->application-> assembly information" is value used for assembly level GuidAttribute is assembly id for COM interop:
Supplies an explicit System.Guid when an automatic GUID is undesirable.
This id is not related to "Project Type GUID" which is used by VS to enable/disable functionality.
Note: partial lists of project types can be found on multiple sites like http://www.codeproject.com/Reference/720512/List-of-Visual-Studio-Project-Type-GUIDs and discussed in What are the project GUIDs in a Visual Studio solution file used for?.
