CONCEPT:

  • A nucleus of an atom is made up of neutron and proton, and they are called nucleons.
  • The radius of the nucleus is given by

Where R0 = 1.2 fm , A = Mass number

CALCULATION:

Given A1 = 216 and A2 = 125

  • The radius of the first & second nuclei is given by

     ---- (1)

     ---- (2)

The ratio of is given by

  • Hence, option 3 is the answer
