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 practically independent of the atomic number for nuclei of mass number in the range $30$ to $170$.
Reason $R:$ Nuclear force is short-ranged.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
