Consider the nuclear reaction $X^{200} \rightarrow A^{110} + B^{90}$. If the binding energy per nucleon for $X, A,$ and $B$ is $7.4 \, MeV, 8.2 \, MeV,$ and $8.2 \, MeV$ respectively, what is the energy released in $MeV$?

From the given data,the amount of energy required to break the nucleus of aluminium ${ }_{13}^{27} {Al}$ is $x \times 10^{-3} {J}$.
Mass of neutron $= 1.00866 \, {u}$
Mass of proton $= 1.00726 \, {u}$
Mass of aluminium nucleus $= 26.98154 \, {u}$
(Assume $1 \, {u}$ corresponds to $1 \, {J}$ of energy for the purpose of this calculation)
(Round off to the nearest integer)

$1 \text{ a.m.u.}$ is equivalent to

$A$ heavy nucleus having mass number $200$ gets disintegrated into two small fragments of mass numbers $80$ and $120$. If binding energy per nucleon for the parent atom is $6.5 \text{ MeV}$ and for the daughter nuclei is $7 \text{ MeV}$ and $8 \text{ MeV}$ respectively, then the energy released in the decay will be: (in $\text{ MeV}$)

The figure shows 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:
$(i) \, A + B \to C + \varepsilon$
$(ii) \, C \to A + B + \varepsilon$
$(iii) \, D + E \to F + \varepsilon$
$(iv) \, F \to D + E + \varepsilon$
where $\varepsilon$ is the energy released. In which reactions is $\varepsilon$ positive?
