\(M_p\) denotes the mass of a proton and \(M_n\) that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy \(B\), contains \(Z\) protons and \(N\) neutrons. The mass \(M(N,Z)\) of the nucleus is given by:
(\(c\) is the velocity of light )
1. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p+ Bc^2\)
2. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p-\frac{B}{c^2}\)
3. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p+\frac{B}{c^2}\)
4. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p- Bc^2\)
Which force is responsible for holding two protons together with the same strength as it holds two neutrons together inside a nucleus?
| 1. | Electric force | 2. | Weak nuclear force |
| 3. | Strong nuclear force | 4. | Gravitational force |

A nucleus \(X\) with a mass number of \(200\) undergoes fission according to the reaction:
\(X^{200} \rightarrow A^{110} + B^{90}. \)
If the binding energy per nucleon for \(X, \) \(A,\) and \(B \) are \(7.4\) MeV, \(8.2\) MeV, and \(8.2\) MeV respectively, what is the total energy released in this process?
| 1. | \(200~ \text {MeV}\) | 2. | \(160~ \text {MeV}\) |
| 3. | \(110~ \text {MeV}\) | 4. | \(90~ \text {MeV}\) |
