(a) Draw a graph showing the variation of binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) vs mass number A for the nuclei in `20 le A le 170`.
(b) A nucleus of mass number 240 and having binding energy/nucleon 7.6 MeV splits into two fragments Y, Z of mass numbers 110 and 130 respectively. If the binding energy/nucleon of Y, Z is equal to 8.5 MeV each, calculate the energy released in the nuclear reaction
