- 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 and R is also false.
Reason (R): The electrostatic forces weaken the nuclear force.
Explanation:
Nuclear forces are strongest when the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. An excess of protons compared to neutrons weakens the nuclear force. Also, too many neutrons compared to protons inside the nucleus weaken the nuclear forces. The electrostatic force which is a hundred times less than the nuclear force is not the cause.

Assertion (A): Between any two given energy levels, the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason (R): Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.
Assertion (A): Fraunhofer lines are observed in the spectrum of the sun.
Reason (R): The different elements have different spectra.
