As we learnt in

Q value -

X+Y\rightarrow Z+Q

Q=(M_{x}+M_{y}-M_{z})C^{2}

     

- wherein

M_{x} and M_{y} are mass of reactant

M_{z}  is mass of product

 

 

 

Binding energy of    _{3}^{7}\textrm{Li}=7\times 5.60=39.2\; Me\, V

Binding energy of    _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}=4\times 7.06=28.24\, Me\, V

\therefore \;    Energy of proton = Energy of \left [ 2(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He})-_{3}^{7}\textrm{Li} \right ]

=2\times 28.24-39.2

=17.28\; Me\, V

Correct option is 3.
