Question

Assume the graph of specific binding energy versus mass number is as shown in the figure. Using this graph, select the correct choice from the following : (A) Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of 1 < A < 50 will release energy. (B) Fission of the nucleus of m ass number lying in the range of 100 < A < 200 will release energy when broken into two fragments. (C) Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of 100 < A < 200 will release energy. (D) Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of 51 < A < 100 will release energy.

When two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of 51 < A < 100 combined, then a nucleus is formed in the range 100 < A < 150 which has high value of specific binding energy. Thus, the fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in range of 51 < A < 100 will release energy.
