Let \(F_{pp}, F_{pn}~\text{and}~F_{nn}\) denote the magnitudes of the net force by a proton on a proton, by a proton on a neutron and by a neutron on a neutron respectively. Neglect gravitational force. When the separation is \(1~\text{fm}\),

1. \(F_{pp}> F_{pn}=F_{nn}\) 2. \(F_{pp}= F_{pn}=F_{nn}\)
3. \(F_{pp}> F_{pn}>F_{nn}\) 4. \(F_{pp}< F_{pn}=F_{nn}\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The density of the nucleus is much higher than that of ordinary matter.
Reason (R): Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus while the size of this nucleus is almost \(10^5\) times smaller.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

In an exoergic nuclear reaction (i.e. energy is released in the reaction), let
1. \(E_1\): total binding energy of initial nuclei
2. \(E_2\): total binding energy of final nuclei
3. \(A_1\): total number of nucleons of initial nuclei
4. \(A_2\): total number of nucleons of final nuclei
Then:
1. \(E_1>E_2\)
2. \(E_2>E_1\)
3. \(E_1=E_2\)
4. \(\dfrac{E_1}{A_1}=\dfrac{E_2}{A_2}\)
