Answer #1

In a nuclear reaction the sum of mass numbers of reactants should be equal to the sum of mass numbers of products.

Sum of mass number of reactants = 235+1= 236

Sum of mass number of products = 137+ 3= 140

Mass number of missing product = 236-140 = 96

Also the sum of charges is also balanced ( the number of protons)

Sum of charges of reactants = 92 + 0= 92

Sum of charges of products = 55 + 0= 55

Charge ( number of protons) of the missing product = 92-55= 37

So the answer is Option 4th. ( Rb)
