Two identical pendulum $A$ and $B$ are suspended from the same point. The bobs are given positive charges, with $A$ having more charge than $B$ . They diverge and reach at equilibrium, with $A$ and $B$ making angles $\theta _1$ and $\theta _2$ with the vertical respectively, Then

  • A

    $\theta _1 = \theta _2$

  • B

    $\theta _1 > \theta _2$

  • C

    $\theta _1 < \theta _2$

  • D

    Tension in $A$ is smaller than in $B$

Given below are three schematic graphs of potential energy $V(r)$ versus distance $r$ for three atomic particles : electron $\left(e^{-}\right)$, proton $\left(p^{+}\right)$and neutron $(n)$, in the presence of a nucleus at the origin $O$. The radius of the nucleus is $r_0$. The scale on the $V$-axis may not be the same for all figures. The correct pairing of each graph with the corresponding atomic particle is
