The correct answer is:
\(r_{A} < r_{B}, E_{b n A} > E_{b n B}\)
$\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{r}_{0}(\mathrm{~A})^{1 / 3}$
r increases with increasing A mass number So, $r_{A}
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bn}}$ decreases with increasing $\mathrm{A}$ for $\mathrm{A}>56$ ${ }^{56} \mathrm{Fe}$ has highest $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bn}}$ value. So, $E_{b n}$ for $A=64$ is larger as compared to $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bn}}$ for nucleus with $\mathrm{A}=125$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bnA}}>\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bnB}}$
r increases with increasing A mass number So, $r_{A}
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bn}}$ decreases with increasing $\mathrm{A}$ for $\mathrm{A}>56$ ${ }^{56} \mathrm{Fe}$ has highest $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bn}}$ value. So, $E_{b n}$ for $A=64$ is larger as compared to $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bn}}$ for nucleus with $\mathrm{A}=125$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bnA}}>\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{bnB}}$
