JEE Main 24 June 2022, Shift 2, Physics Q41

Question 41 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 11 of 30, Section A.

Potential energy as a function of rr is given by U=Ar10−Br5U=\frac{A}{r^{10}}-\frac{B}{r^{5}}, where rr is the interatomic distance, A and B are positive constants. The equilibrium distance between the two atoms will be :
  1. (1)(AB)15\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}
  2. (2)(BA)15\left(\frac{B}{A}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}
  3. (3)(2AB)15\left(\frac{2A}{B}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}Official answer
  4. (4)(B2A)15\left(\frac{B}{2A}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}
