The correct order of atomic radii in group 13 elements is 

(1) B < Al < In < Ga < Tl 

(2) B < Al < Ga < In < Tl 

(3) B < Ga < Al < Tl < In 

(4) B < Ga < Al < In < Tl

(4) In group 13 due to transition contraction [Al > Ga]

Ga is slightly smaller than Al due poor shielding of d e so Zeff. increasing. 

Atomic size : B < Ga < Al < In < Tl
