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

    A)  \[{}_{28}^{58}Ni\]                          

    B)  \[{}_{27}^{59}Co\]

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

    D)  \[{}_{27}^{60}Co\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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