Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(A\) mass number \(=34\)

Total binding energy \(=1.2 \times 34=40.8\,MeV\)

For \(B\) mass number \(=26\)

total binding energy \(=1.8 \times 26\,MeV\)

\(=46.8\,MeV\)

Difference of \(BE =6\,MeV\)
