We know that one atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12th the mass of an atom of Carbon-12 isotope.
As such 1 amu=1.6606×10−27 kg
Velocity of light c in vacuum is =2.9979×108 ms−1
Using the Einstein's mass energy equivalence relation we get
E=mc2
E=1.6606×10−27×(2.9979×108)2 J
We also know that 1 eV=1 electronic charge in C×1 V
=1.60218×10−19 J
Therefore, we get
E=1.6606×10−27×(2.9979×108)21.60218×10−19 eV
⇒E=931.5 MeV, rounded to one decimal place
hope my ans is helpful to u

1 amu is the mass of a proton/neutron and since 1.6606 × 10^-27 kg is the weight of proton in kg.
therefore 1amu = 1.6606 × 10^-27 kg.
therefore 1amu = 1.6606 × 10^-27 kg.
