Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: The nuclear density of nuclides ${ }_{5}^{10} B, { }_{3}^{6} Li, { }_{26}^{56} Fe, { }_{10}^{20} Ne$ and ${ }_{83}^{209} Bi$ can be arranged as $\rho_{ Bi }^{ N } > \rho_{ Fe }^{ N } > \rho_{ Ne }^{ N } > \rho_{ B }^{ N } > \rho_{ Li }^{ N }$.
Reason $R$: The radius $R$ of a nucleus is related to its mass number $A$ as $R = R_0 A^{1/3}$,where $R_0$ is a constant.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
