JEE Main 2024 — 31 January, Shift 2 — Question 43

The mass number of nucleus having radius equal to half of the radius of nucleus with mass number 192 is:

  1. Option A:

    24

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    32

  3. Option C:

    40

  4. Option D:

    20

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

R1=R22R_{1}=\frac{R_{2}}{2} R0( A1)1/3=R02( A2)1/3\mathrm{R}_{0}\left(\mathrm{~A}_{1}\right)^{1 / 3}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{0}}{2}\left(\mathrm{~A}_{2}\right)^{1 / 3} A1=18 A2\mathrm{A}_{1}=\frac{1}{8} \mathrm{~A}_{2} A1=1928=24\mathrm{A}_{1}=\frac{192}{8}=24
