Answer

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

ReasonA is true as 11H^11\text{H}, 12H^21\text{H} and 13H^3_1\text{H} have different numbers of neutrons.
R is true as isotopes have the same atomic number. However, this does not explain why they have different numbers of neutrons; that is due to their different mass numbers.

Therefore, Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A is the correct option.
