Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(931 \mathrm{MeV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that atomic mass \(=1 \mathrm{amu}\) \(=1.66 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}\) By using Einstein's equation of mass energy relation, \(E=m c^2\) where, \(c=\) speed of light \(=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).…
