$A$ nucleus $^{A}_{Z} X$ has mass represented by $M(A, Z)$. If $M_p$ and $M_n$ denote the mass of a proton and a neutron respectively, and $B.E.$ is the binding energy in $MeV$, then:

The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei $_{20}^{41} Ca$ and $_{13}^{27} Al$ from the following data:
$m(_{20}^{40} Ca) = 39.962591 \; u$
$m(_{20}^{41} Ca) = 40.962278 \; u$
$m(_{13}^{26} Al) = 25.986895 \; u$
$m(_{13}^{27} Al) = 26.981541 \; u$
(Given mass of neutron $m_n = 1.008665 \; u$)
