Correct answer: C. a-r,t;b-p,s;c-q,t;d-r;

Nuclear fusion : In stars energy is produced by hydrogen into helium.
Fission in a nuclear reactor : In nuclear reactor fission of

U 92235

takes place by absorption of thermal neutrons. Heavy water is used as a moderator during this reaction.

Co 2760

emits

\beta

particle to attain stable nucleus. It also emits

\gamma

radians.

\gamma

-rays are emitted by

Co 2760

during fission of

U 92235

, conversion of hydrogen to helium and during decay of

{U}^{235}

after absorption of neutron.

	Column I		Column II
A.	Nuclear fusion	P	Absorption of thermal neutrons by $U 92235$
B.	Fission in a nuclear reactor	Q	$Co 2760$ nucleus
C.	$\beta$ -decay	R	Energy production in stars via hydrogen conversion to helium
D.	$\gamma$ -ray emission	S	Heavy water
		T	Neutrino emission
