Consider the following statements about Neutrinos.

1.They are used to trigger fission in nuclear reactors.
2.Human body cannot tolerate exposure to Neutrinos.
3.They are completely massless.

Choose the correct answer using the codes below.

Neutrinos are the information bearers of the universe — which are almost never lost in their path. India’s effort in studying neutrinos at INO may help us unravel the deepest mystery of the universe — why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe.
Neutrinos are the least harmful of all elementary particles, as they almost never react with solid bodies. Also, people tend to confuse the “neutrino” for the “neutron”. This has also led to the confusion that neutrinos can be weaponised, which is far from the truth. They are not used to trigger fission reactions, but are instead produced as a result of the reactions.

Neutrinos, named as such because they are electrically neutral, are leptons, and so are not affected by the strong force either.
