`._(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)`

A

`60//41`

B

`61//40`

C

`62//41`

D

`61//42`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`""_(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)`
