NEET Physics Nuclear Fission Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): In a fission reaction, 235 92 U can produce various pairs of intermediate mass fragments. | Reason (R): The fission of 235 92 U only results in the production of radioactive nuclei which undergo beta decay.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as 235 92 U can produce different pairs of fragments, but the reason is false because the fission products being radioactive and undergoing beta decay does not explain the variety of fragment pairs.
