  1. The mass density of a nucleus varies with mass number A as
    1. A2
    2. A
    3. constant
    4. 1/A
Correct Option: C

The nuclear radius r varies with mass number A according to the relation
r ∝ A1/3 or A ∝ r3
Now,

density =
mass
volume

Further, mass ∝ and volume ∝ r3
mass
constant
volume
