The correct answer is:
$3.6 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$
The relation between radius $(R)$ and atomic number $(A)$ is
$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)^{1 / 3}$
Given, $R_1=6$ fermi, $A_1=125, A_2=27$
$\begin{aligned}
\frac{6}{R_2} & =\left(\frac{125}{27}\right)^{1 / 3}=\frac{5}{3} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \quad \quad R_2 & =\frac{6 \times 3}{5}=\frac{18}{5}=3.6 \text { fermi } \\
& =3.6 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}$
$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)^{1 / 3}$
