    B)  gravitational force is greater than nuclear force

    D)  nuclear force is greater than electromagnetic force

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In a nucleus, protons and neutrons are bound to one another due to nuclear forces. If the distance between nucleons is of the order of 10   cm, then nuclear force is much greater titan gravitational and electromagnetic forces. Nuclear forces are primarily the forces of attraction and are responsible in binding of nucleons in a nucleus.
