Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Binding energy per nucleon for nuclei (atomic number \(30\) to \(107\)) is independent of atomic number. |
| Reason (R): | Nuclear force is short-range force. |
| 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. |

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus triton contains \(2\) neutrons and \(1\) proton. Free neutrons decay into\(p+e^{-1}+\nu^{-1}.\) If one of the neutrons in Triton decays, it would transform into \(\mathrm{He}^{3}\) nucleus. This does not happen. This is because:
| 1. | triton energy is less than that of a \(\mathrm{He}^{3}\) nucleus. |
| 2. | the electron created in the beta decay process cannot remain in the nucleus. |
| 3. | both the neutrons in Triton have to decay simultaneously resulting in a nucleus with \(3\) protons, which is not a \(\mathrm{He}^{3}.\) nucleus. |
| 4. | free neutrons decay due to external perturbations which is absent in the Triton nucleus. |

Hints
Fusion processes, like combining two deuterons to form a \({He}\)-nucleus are impossible at ordinary temperatures and pressure. The reasons for this can be traced to the fact:
Choose the correct option:
| (a) | nuclear forces have short-range. |
| (b) | nuclei are positively charged. |
| (c) | the original nuclei must be completely ionized before fusion can take place. |
| (d) | the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other. |
Choose the correct option:
| 1. | (a) and (c) | 2. | (a) and (d) |
| 3. | (b) and (d) | 4. | (a) and (b) |
