Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true. Isobars have the same mass number but different atomic numbers. Both 146C (carbon-14) and 147N (nitrogen-14) have a mass number of 14, making them isobars.

Reason (R) is true. 146C has 6 protons and 8 neutrons, while 147N has 7 protons and 7 neutrons both have mass number equal to 14, hence are isobars.
