Δ ϵ =13× 7.47-12× 7.68 =97.11-92.16 =4.95MeV

Q. Binding energy per nucleon for $C^{12}$ is $7.68 M e V$ and for $C^{13}$ is $7.47 M e V$ . The energy required to remove a neutron from $C^{13}$ is

$4.95 M e V$

$8.46 M e V$

$9.45 M e V$

$15.49 M e V$

$Δ ϵ = 13 \times 7.47 - 12 \times 7.68$
$= 97.11 - 92.16$
$= 4.95 M e V$
