M(p) denotes the mass of the proton and ...

`M_(p)` denotes the mass of the proton and `M_(n)` denotes mass of a neutron. A given nucleus of binding energy B, contains Z protons and N neutrons. The mass M(N, Z) of the nucleus is given by (where c is the speed of light)

A

`M(N, Z) = NM_(a)+ZM_(p)-Bc^2`

B

`M(N, Z) = NM_(a)+ZM_(p)+Bc^2`

C

`M(N, Z) = NM_(a)+ZM_(p)-B//c^2`
