If the rest mass of electron or positron is 0.51 MeV, then the kinetic energy of each particle in the electron-positron pair production by a -photon of 2.42 MeV will be 

a
0.3 MeV
b
1.9 MeV
c
0.7 MeV
d
1.5 MeV

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Mass produced (0.51 + 0.51) MeV=1.02MeV.Remaining energy(2.42 – 1.02) = 1.4 MeV
