A Kaon K⁺ breaks down into two particles. From amongst the following three particles:

π⁰ (neutral pion)

η⁰ (eta meson)

μ⁺ (anti-muon, identical to a muon except for its electric charge)

which one(s) can be formed as the products of the described break-down? (the other product is not known).

a. π⁰

b. η⁰

c. μ⁺

d. η⁰, π⁰

e. μ⁺, π⁰

f. μ⁺, η⁰

g. all three of them

h. none of them

Please reason your answer based on the various laws of conservation, and explain in precise terms why each one the three particles can or cannot be the product of the breakdown.

Thank you!

A company has three machines. On any day, each working machine breaks down with probability 0.4, independent of other machines. At the end of each day, the machines that have broken down are sent to a repairman who can work on only one machine at a time. When the repairman has one or more machines to repair at the beginning of a day, he repairs and returns exactly one at the end of that day. Let Xn be the number...
