The below is a plot of binding energy per nucleon Eb, against the nuclear mass M; A, B, C, D, E, F correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions :
(i) A + B → C + ε (ii) C → A + B + ε
(iii) D + E → F + ε and (iv) F → D + E + ε
 
where ε is the energy released ? In which reactions is ε positive ?
  1. (i) and (iv)
  2. (i) and (iii)
  3. (ii) and (iv)
  4. (ii) and (iii)

Answer

(A) (i) and (iv)
