उत्तर
exact 12 u
In nuclear physics, a unit used for measurement of mass is unified atomic mass unit, which is denoted by u.
It is defined such that
1 u = `1/12 xx` (Mass of neutral carbon atom in its ground state)
Mass of neutral carbon atom in its ground state = 12 × 1 u = 12 u
Thus, the mass of neutral carbon atom in its ground state is exactly 12 u.
