The radius of a nucleus \((r)\) is directly proportional to the cube-root of the number of nucleons \((N).\) Assume that the mass of a nucleon is fixed \((m_n).\) The density \((\rho)\) of a nucleus varies as:
1. \(N^3\)
2. \(N^1\)
3. \(N^0\)
4. \(N^{-1}\)

In an exoergic nuclear reaction (i.e. energy is released in the reaction), let
\(E_1:\) total binding energy of initial nuclei
\(E_2:\) total binding energy of final nuclei
\(A_1:\) total number of nucleons of initial nuclei
\(A_2:\) total number of nucleons of final nuclei
Then:
1.  \(E_1>E_2\)
2.  \(E_2>E_1\)
3.  \(E_1=E_2\)
4.  \(\frac{E_1}{A_1}=\frac{E_2}{A_2}\)
