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 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 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


A.

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

90Sr is a radiation hazard. 90Sr undergoes β- decay with half-life of 28.79 years and a decay energy of 0.546 MeV distributed to an electron, an anti-neutrino.

Controlled amounts of 90Sr and 90Sr can used in the treatment of bone cancer.
