Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5: 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Recall the relation between atomic mass number and radius of the nucleus, R=R0A13, given, Ai=125 & Ap=216, the masses of iodin and polonium respectively, now put these values, RiRp=AiAp13=12521613⇒RiRp=56
