Statement: Neutron decay result in beta-...

Statement: Neutron decay result in `beta-` emission and emission of neutrino.
Explanation: Higher values of `n//p` ratio give rise to neutron decay.

A

`S` is correct but `E` is wrong.

B

`S` is wrong but `E` is correct.

C

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.

D

Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`b`
Neutron decay occurs due to high `n//p` ratio as:
`._(0)^(1)n rarr ._(+1)^(1)p + ._(-1)^(0)e overline(v)` (antineutrino)
