Q1

A nucleus with mass number 240 breaks into two fragments each of mass number 120 , the binding energy per nucleon of unfragmented nuclei is \( 7.6 \mathrm{MeV} \) while that of fragments is \( 8.5 \mathrm{MeV} \). The total gain in the Binding Energy in the process is:

a

\( 9.4 \mathrm{MeV} \)

b

\( 804 \mathrm{MeV} \)

c

\( 216 \mathrm{MeV} \)

d

\( 0.9 \mathrm{MeV} \)
