`._(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) underset(-6beta)overset(8alpha)to ""_(82)X^(206)`
Number of protons = 82, Number of neutrons = 124
Neutron/proton ratio in the product nucleus `= (124)/(82) = (62)/(41)`
