The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Nuclear radius relation.
Radius of nucleus is given by: \[ R = R_0 A^{1/3} \]

Step 2: Write ratio expression.
\[ \frac{R_X}{R_Y} = \left(\frac{64}{216}\right)^{1/3} \]

Step 3: Simplify mass numbers.
\[ \frac{64}{216} = \frac{2^6}{6^3} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3 \]

Step 4: Apply cube root.
\[ \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3^{1/3} = \frac{2}{3} \]

Step 5: Final ratio.
\[ \frac{R_X}{R_Y} = \frac{2}{3} \]

Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{2}{3}} \]
