As we learnt in

Binding energy -

B.E=\left [ Zm_{p}+(A-Z)m_{n}-M_{x} \right ]c^{2} 

amount of energy released when nucleons  come together to form a nuclei.

M_{x} = mass of nuclei formed

 

- wherein

m_{p}- mass\ of\ proton

m_{n}- mass\ of \ neutron

Z- atomic\ number

A- atomic\ mass

 

 ^{2}_{1}D+^{2}_{1}D\rightarrow\ \; ^{4}_{2}He

Energy produced =-2m(^{2}_{1}D)+m(^{4}_{2}He)

=4\times7-4\times1.1=23.6\ MeV

Correct option is 3


Option 1)

30.2 MeV

Option 2)

 32.4 MeV

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

 23.6 MeV

 

This is the correct option.

Option 4)
