MHT CET Physics question

Statement 1: Natural radioactive nuclei are nuclei of high mass number Statement 2: The B.E. per nucleon of heavy nuclei is large as compared to that of the stable nuclei

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is FalseCorrect
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (C)

Solution

Natural radioactivity is shown by heavy nuclei, so Statement 1 is true; but the binding energy per nucleon of heavy nuclei is smaller than that of the stable
