    Assume the graph of specific binding energy versus mass number is as shown in the figure. Using this graph, select the correct choice from the following.

    A)   Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \[100<A<200\] will release energy

    B)   Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \[51<A<100\] will release energy

    C)   Fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \[1<A<50\] will release energy

    D) Fission of the nucleus of mass number lying in the rang of \[100<A<200\] will release energy when broken into two fragments

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      When two nuclei of mass number lying in the range of \[51<A<100\] combined, then a nucleus is formed in the range \[100<A<150\] which has high value of specific binding energy. Thus, the fusion of two nuclei of mass number lying in range of \[51<A<100\] will release energy.
