In the options given below, let EE denote the rest mass energy of a nucleus and nn a neutron. The correct option is

Options

  1. AE\left({ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right)>E\left({ }_{53}^{137}\mathrm{I}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{97} Y\right)+2 E(n)
  2. B\left.E{ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right) < E\left({ }_{53}^{137}\mathrm{I}\right)+E\left({ }_{39}^{97} Y\right)+2 E(n)
  3. CE(92236U)<E(556140Ba)+E(3694Kr)+2E(n)E\left({ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right) < E\left(5_{56}^{140} \mathrm{Ba}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{94} \mathrm{Kr}\right)+2 E(n)
  4. DE(992236U)<E(556140Ba)+E(3694Kr)+2E(n)E\left(9_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right) < E\left(5_{56}^{140} \mathrm{Ba}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{94} \mathrm{Kr}\right)+2 E(n)

Correct answer

A. E\left({ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right)>E\left({ }_{53}^{137}\mathrm{I}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{97} Y\right)+2 E(n)

Step-by-step solution

Rest mass of parent nucleus should be greater than the rest mass of daughter nuclei. Therefore, option (a) will be correct.
