    A)                 \[_{34}S{{e}^{74}},{{\,}_{31}}G{{a}^{71}}\]

    B)                 \[_{42}M{{o}^{92}}\,,{{\,}_{40}}Z{{r}^{92}}\]

    C)                 \[_{38}S{{r}^{84}},{{\,}_{38}}S{{r}^{86}}\]

    D)                 \[_{20}C{{a}^{40}},\,{{\,}_{16}}{{S}^{32}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The nuclei which have same number of neutrons but different atomic number and mass number are known as isotones. In choice (a) nuclei of \[_{34}S{{e}^{74}}\,\,and{{\,}_{31}}G{{a}^{71}}\,\]are isotones as                 \[A-Z=74-34=71-31=40\]
