Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Requird ratio of nuclear densities =r1r2

=(M1V1)(M2V2)=M1M2×V2V1=13×43πR2343πR13=13×(R2R1)3=13×(R0M21/3R0M11/3)3[R=R0M1/3]

=13×(M2M1)=13×(31)=1:1

Nuclear density, ρ=3m4πR03

Here, R0=1.2×1015mm= Average of mass of a nuclean (mass of proton + mass of neutron) =1.66×1027kg

This formula suggest that density of nuclear matter is same for all nuclei.
