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, AA and BB are positive constants. The equilibrium distance between the two atoms will be : A (AB)15\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} B (BA)15\left(\frac{B}{A}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} C (2AB)15\left(\frac{2A}{B}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} D (B2A)15\left(\frac{B}{2A}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}
