The binding energy per nucleon for $_8O^{16}$ and $_8O^{17}$ are $7.97 \, MeV$ and $7.75 \, MeV$ respectively. The energy required to remove a neutron from $_8O^{17}$ is (in $MeV$):

The mass of a ${}_{3}^{7}Li$ nucleus is $0.042 \, u$ less than the sum of the masses of all its nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of ${}_{3}^{7}Li$ nucleus is nearly...........$MeV$.

Consider the nuclear reaction $X^{200} \rightarrow A^{110} + B^{90}$. If the binding energy per nucleon for $X, A,$ and $B$ is $7.4 \, MeV, 8.2 \, MeV,$ and $8.2 \, MeV$ respectively, what is the energy released in $MeV$?

What is the energy produced in $MeV$ when the mass equivalent to $1$ proton is completely converted into energy?

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.

Assertion : In a decay process of a nucleus, the mass of products is less than that of the parent.
Reason : The rest mass energy of the products must be less than that of the parent.
