Consider the nuclear fission reaction ${ }_0^1 n+{ }_{92}^{235} U \longrightarrow{ }_{56}^{144} Ba+{ }_{36}^{89} Kr+3{ }_0^1 n$. Assuming all the kinetic energy is carried away by the fast neutrons only and total binding energies of ${ }_{92}^{235} U, { }_{56}^{144} Ba$ and ${ }_{36}^{89} Kr$ to be $1800 \ MeV, 1200 \ MeV$ and $780 \ MeV$ respectively,the average kinetic energy carried by each fast neutron is (in $MeV$):

  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $180$
  • C
    $67$
  • D
    $60$
