Assertion (A): Forces acting between proton-proton  (fpp), proton-neutron (fpn) and neutron-neutron (fnn) are such that 
 fpp < fpn <fnn
Reason (R): Electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons reduces net nuclear forces between them.
1. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
2. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
3. If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
4. If both Assertion and Reason are false.

Fission of nuclei is possible because the binding energy per nucleon in them-

1.  Decreases with mass number at low mass numbers

2.  Increases with mass number at low mass numbers

3.  Decreases with mass number at high mass numbers

4.  Increases with mass number at high mass numbers
