Question

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : The binding energy per nucleon is found to be practically independent of the atomic number A, for nuclei with mass numbers between 30 and 170. Reason (R): Nuclear force is long range. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

Answer:

A

Solution:

From graph between B.E/N & A we can see BE/N is almost constant $\Rightarrow$ correct Reason $\Rightarrow$ incorrect as nuclear forces are short range forces.
