    The radioactive isotope \[_{\text{27}}^{\text{60}}\text{Co}\]which is used in 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 :

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