93U235 + 0n1 → 38Sr90 + 54Xe143 + 0n1 + energy
Correct Option: A
93U235 + 0n1 → 38Sr90 + 54Xe143 + 0n1 + energy
- In a fission reaction
92U236 → 117X + 117Y + n + n
the binding energy per nucleon of X and Y is 8.5 MeV whereas of 236U is 7.6 MeV. The total energy liberated will be about

Binding energy
= 117 × 8.5 + 117 × 8.5 – 236 × 7.6
= 234 × 8.5 – 236 × 7.6
= 1989 – 1793.6 = 200 MeV
Thus, in per fission of Uranium nearly 200 MeV energy is liberatedCorrect Option: B
Binding energy
= 117 × 8.5 + 117 × 8.5 – 236 × 7.6
= 234 × 8.5 – 236 × 7.6
= 1989 – 1793.6 = 200 MeV
Thus, in per fission of Uranium nearly 200 MeV energy is liberated

Applying principle of energy conservation,
Energy of proton = total B.E. of 2α – energy of Li7
= 8 × 7.06 – 7 × 5.6
= 56.48 – 39.2 = 17.28 MeVCorrect Option: D
