Consider the following statements \(A\) and \(B\). Identify the correct choice in the given answer. A. \(p-n, p-p\) and \(n-n\) forces between nucleons are not equal and charge dependent. B. In nuclear reactor the fission reaction will be in accelerating state if the value of neutron reproduction factor \(A>1\).

  1. A Both A and B are correct
  2. B Both A and B are wrong
  3. C A is wrong and B is correct
  4. D \(\mathrm{A}\) is correct and \(\mathrm{B}\) is wrong
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A is wrong and B is correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The force acting between proton-neutron \((p-n)\) proton-proton \((p-p)\) and neutron-neutron \((n-n)\) are always equal and charge independent, so statement \(A\) is wrong. If reproduction factor of neutron \((A)>1\), then fission reaction will be in accelerating state, so…
