As we learnt in 

energy mass equivalence -

Delta E=Delta m.c^{2}       

- wherein

Delta m = mass defect

Delta E = energy released

 

 Binding\ Energy = (\Delta m) c^{2} \\ \\ = (0.0424) \: 931 MeV \\ \\ = 38.102 MeV \\ \\ \therefore Binding \: energy \: per \ nucleon = \frac{38.102}{7} \: = 5.5 MeV
