The energy released in the fusion of $2 \ kg$ of hydrogen deep in the sun is $E_{H}$ and the energy released in the fission of $2 \ kg$ of ${ }^{235} U$ is $E_U$. The ratio $\frac{E_H}{E_U}$ is approximately :
(Consider the fusion reaction as $4{ }_1^1 H + 2 e^{-} \rightarrow { }_2^4 He + 2 \nu + 6 \gamma + 26.7 \ MeV$,energy released in the fission reaction of ${ }^{235} U$ is $200 \ MeV$ per fission nucleus and $N_{A} = 6.023 \times 10^{23}$ )

  • A
    $9.13$
  • B
    $15.04$
  • C
    $7.62$
  • D
    $25.6$
