A fission reaction is given byU92236Xe54140+Sr3894+x+y, wherexandyare two particles. ConsideringU92236to be at rest, the kinetic energies of the products are denoted byKXe, KSr, Kx(2 MeV)andKy2 MeV, respectively. Let the binding energies per nucleon ofU92236, Xe54140 andSr3894be 7.5 MeV, 8.5 MeV, and 8.5 MeV respectively. Considering different conservation laws, the correct option(s) is (are)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

UXe+Sr+x+2   y2
Q=4+KXe+KSr...(i)
-Q=EB=236×7.5-140×8.5-94×8.5
Q=219...(ii)
KXe+KSr=215 MeV
Since, bothx&yhave same KE
both particles should have same mass & lighter body will have higher KE.
