If the nuclear force between two protons, two neutrons and between a proton and a neutron is denoted by \(F_{pp} ,F_{nn}\) and \(F_{pn}\) respectively, then:
1. \(F_{p p} \approx F_{n n} \approx F_{p n}\)
2. \(F_{p p} \neq F_{n n}\) and \(F_{p n} = F_{n n}\)
3. \(F_{p p} = F_{n n} = F_{p n}\)
4. \(F_{p p} \neq F_{n n} \neq F_{p n}\)
