Assertion:  90Sr from the radioactive fall out from a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of the production of red blood cells.

Reason: The energies β-particles emitted in the decay of 90Sr damage the bone marrow.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion  

  • If asserion and reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false


A.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Assertion is true.

 90Sr decays to  Y3890  by the emission of β-rays. Sr gets absorbed in bones along with calcium.

Reason is also true.

 90Sr  β 90Y

Strontium decays to Yitrium. Thin emits  β-rays of very high energy. Sr does not emit  γ-rays. The damage is by the β-rays only.

Assertion: Energy is released in nuclear fission.

Reason: Total binding energy of the fission fragments is larger than the total binding energy of the parent nucleus.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason is false


260.

Assertion:  Heavy water preferred ever ordinary water as a moderator in reactors. 

Reason:  Heavy water, used for slowing down the neutrons, has lesser absorption probability
of neutrons than ordinary water.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false
