\mathrm{M_p} denotes the mass of a proton and \mathrm{M_n} that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy \mathrm{B}, contains \mathrm{Z} protons and \mathrm{N} neutrons. The mass \mathrm{M(N, Z)} of the nucleus is given by (\mathrm{c} is the velocity of light)

Option: 1

\mathrm{M(N, Z)=N M_n+Z M_p-B c^2}


Option: 2

\mathrm{M(N, Z)=N M_n+Z M_p+B c^2}


Option: 3

\mathrm{M(N, Z)=N M_n+Z M_p-B / c^2}


Option: 4

\mathrm{M(N, Z)=N M_n+Z M_p+B / c^2}

\mathrm{B=\left[Z M_p+N M_n-M(N, Z)\right] c^2}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow M(M, Z)=Z M_p+N M_n-B / c^2}
