A heavy nucleus at rest breaks into two fragments which fly off with velocities in the ratio 8 : 1. The ratio of radii of the fragments is

a
1 : 2
b
1 : 4
c
4 : 1
d
2 : 1

detailed solution

Correct option is A

By conservation of momentum m1v1=m2v2⇒v1v2=81=m2m1    ........(i)Also from r∝A1/3⇒r1r2=A1A21/3=181/3=12.
