`._(92)U^(238)` emits `8 alpha-` particles and `6 beta-` particles. The `n//p` ratio in the product nucleus is a)`(62)/(41)` b)`(60)/(41)` c)`(61)/(42)` d)`(62)/(42)`

Options

A. `60//41`
B. `61//40`
C. `62//41`
D. `61//42`

Answer

C

Explanation

`""_(92)U^(238)overset(-8alpha)underset(-6beta)rarr""_(82)U^(206)`
Number of protons =82
Number of neutrons = 124
Neutron/proton ratio in the product nucleus `=(124)/(82)=(62)/(41)`
