Vedclass · Answer

(C) The energy released in a nuclear decay is given by the difference between the total binding energy of the products and the total binding energy of the parent nucleus.Total binding energy of the parent nucleus = $200 	imes 6.5 	ext{ MeV} = 1300 	ext{ MeV}$.Total binding energy of the daughter nuclei = $(80 	imes 7 	ext{ MeV}) + (120 	imes 8 	ext{ MeV}) = 560 	ext{ MeV} + 960 	ext{ MeV} = 1520 	ext{ MeV}$.Energy released = (Total binding energy of products) - (Total binding energy of parent) = $1520 	ext{ MeV} - 1300 	ext{ MeV} = 220 	ext{ MeV}$.
