The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon `E_(b)` against the nuclear mass `M, A, B,C,D,E,F` correspond to different nuclei Consider four reactions:

A

`A+ B rarr C + epsilon`

B

`C rarr A +B + epsilon`

C

`D + E rarr F + epsilon and `

D

`F rarr D +E + epsilon`,

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
for A +B rarr C + epsilon ` is positive . This is because `E_(b)`
for `C` is greater then the `E_(b) for A and B`
Again for `F rarr D + E epsilon , epsilon` is positive This is because `E_(b)`
for D and E` is greater then `E_(b) for F`
