Two nuclei have mass numbers in the ratio . The ratio of their nuclear radii is:

Assuming the nuclei to be spherical in shape how does the surface area of a nucleus of mass number compare with that of a nucleus of mass number ?

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : The nuclear density of nuclides can be arranged as
Reason R : The radius of nucleus is related to its mass number as , where is a constant.
In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Read the following statements:
(A) Volume of the nucleus is directly proportional to the mass number.
(B) Volume of the nucleus is independent of mass number.
(C) Density of the nucleus is directly proportional to the mass number.
(D) Density of the nucleus is directly proportional to the cube root of the mass number.
(E) Density of the nucleus is independent of the mass number.
