Question

A nucleus x has mass represented by
M(A, Z). If Mp and M, denote the masses of
proton and neutron respectively and B.E., the
binding energy in MeV, then
(A) B.E. = [ZM,+ (A - Z)M, - M(A, Z)]c?
(B) B.E. = [ZM, + AM, - M(A, Z)]c
(C) B.E. = M(A, Z) - ZM, - (A - Z) M,
(D) B.E. = [M(A, Z) - ZM:-(A - Z) Mn]c?​
