Assertion:Binding energy per nucleon is nearlyconstant for element in the range A=30 to A=170 . Reason : The nuclear force between twonucleons falls rapidly to zero as their distance is more than a few femtometres.

Answer»

If both assertion and REASON are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion .
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is notthe correct explanation of assertion .
If assertion is true but reason is false .
If both assertion and reason are false

Solution :The NUCLEAR force between two nucleons falls rapidly to zero as their distance is more than a few femtometers. This leads to saturation of forces in a medium or a large-sized nucleus, which is the reason for the CONSTANCY of the BINDING ENERGY per nucleon.
