Statement: Neutron decay result in `beta-` emission and emission of neutrino.
Explanation: Higher values of `n//p` ratio give rise to neutron decay.
A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.
B. `S` is wrong but `E` is correct.
C. Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.
D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.
Explanation: Higher values of `n//p` ratio give rise to neutron decay.
A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.
B. `S` is wrong but `E` is correct.
C. Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.
D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.
Correct Answer – `b`
Neutron decay occurs due to high `n//p` ratio as:
`._(0)^(1)n rarr ._(+1)^(1)p + ._(-1)^(0)e overline(v)` (antineutrino)
