(N/A) central force is a force that acts along the line joining the centers of two objects. Example: Gravitational force between two masses or electrostatic force between two point charges.
$A$ non-central force is a force that does not act along the line joining the centers of two objects. Example: Nuclear force or the magnetic force between two current-carrying loops.

Assertion $(A):$ Forces acting between proton-proton $(f_{pp})$, proton-neutron $(f_{pn})$ and neutron-neutron $(f_{nn})$ are such that $f_{pp} < f_{pn} = f_{nn}$.
Reason $(R):$ Electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons reduces the net nuclear force between them.

Two nucleons are at a separation of $1 \times 10^{-15} \ m$. The net force between them is $F_1$ if both are neutrons,$F_2$ if both are protons,and $F_3$ if one is a proton and the other is a neutron. In such a case:
