    A nuclear reactor delivers power of 10 W find fuel consumed by the reactor per hour if its efficiency is 20%. Given\[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]:

    A)  \[2\times {{10}^{-6}}\text{g/hr}\]                          

    B)  \[9\times {{10}^{-12}}\text{g/hr}\]        

    C)         \[8\times {{10}^{-9}}\text{g/hr}\]          

    D)         \[2\times {{10}^{-9}}\text{g/hr}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As fuel consumed by the react or with efficiency 20%. Then energy will be: \[E=\frac{100\times 10}{20}=50\,J\text{/}s\] As           \[E=m{{c}^{2}},\] \[m=\frac{E}{{{c}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{50}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}}kg\text{/}\sec \] \[=\frac{50\times 3600\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}}g\text{/}hr\] \[=2\times {{10}^{-9}}g\text{/}hr\]
