    The radioactive isotope\[_{27}^{60}Co\]which is used in the treatment of cancer can be made by\[(n,\text{ }p)\]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 :

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