    If the radius of a nucleus of mass number 3 is R, then the radius of a nucleus of mass number 81 is

    A)  3 R                                        

    B)  9R

    C)  \[{{(27)}^{1/2}}R\]                                         

    D)  25R

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Nuclear radius is proportional to\[{{A}^{1/3}}\]where, A is mass number of nucleus. ie,           \[R\propto {{A}^{1/3}}\]                 \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}={{\left[ \frac{{{A}_{1}}}{{{A}_{2}}} \right]}^{1/3}}\]                 \[\frac{R}{{{R}_{2}}}={{\left[\frac{3}{81} \right]}^{1/3}}\] Or           \[\frac{R}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{3}\] Or           \[{{R}_{2}}=3R\]
