Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ The binding energy per nucleon is found to be practically independent of the atomic number $A$,for nuclei with mass numbers between $30$ and $170$.
Reason $(R) :$ Nuclear force is long range.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
