Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2 : 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The radius of a nucleus is given by the formula \(R = R_{0} A^{1/3}\), where \(R_{0}\) is a constant and \(A\) is the mass number of the nucleus. For the two elements X and Y, the ratio of their radii is given by…
