Assertion (A): During formation of a nucleus, the mass defect produced is the source of the binding energy of the nucleus.
Reason \((R)\) : For all nuclei, the value of binding energy per nucleon increases with mass number.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
(C) A is true but R is false.
