    In   any   fission   process   the   ratio \[\frac{mass\,of\,fission\,products}{mass\,of\,parent\,nucleus}is\]

    A)  less than 1

    B)  greater than 1

    C)  equal to 1

    D)  depends on the mass of parent nucleus

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In fission process, when a parent nucleus breaks into daughter products, then some mass is lost in the form of energy. Thus, mass of fission products < mass of parent nucleus \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{\text{Mass}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{fission}\,\,\text{products}}{\text{Mass}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{parent}\,\,\text{nucleus}}\text{1}\]
