  1. In a fission reaction
    92U236117X + 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 liberated

    Correct 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 MeV

    Correct Option: D

    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 MeV
