    The radioactive isotope \[_{27}^{60}Co\] which is used to the treatment of cancer can be made by \[(n,\,\,p)\] reaction. For this reaction the target nucleus is

    A) \[_{28}^{59}Ni\]                                              

    B) \[_{27}^{59}Co\]

    C)  \[_{28}^{60}Ni\]                                             

    D)  \[_{27}^{60}Co\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[_{28}^{60}Ni+_{0}^{1}n\xrightarrow{{}}_{27}^{60}Co+_{1}^{1}\underset{(p)}{\mathop{H}}\,\]\[(n,\,\,\,p\]means that neutron attacks and proton liberates).
