$M_n$ and $M_p$ represent the mass of a neutron and a proton, respectively. If an element having atomic mass $M$ has $N$ neutrons and $Z$ protons, then the correct relation is:

  • A
    $M < [N M_n + Z M_p]$
  • B
    $M > [N M_n + Z M_p]$
  • C
    $M = [N M_n + Z M_p]$
  • D
    $M = N[M_n + M_p]$

Two nuclei of mass number $3$ combine with another nucleus of mass number $4$ to yield a nucleus of mass number $10$. If the binding energy per nucleon for the mass numbers $3$,$4$,and $10$ are $5.6 \text{ MeV}$,$7.4 \text{ MeV}$,and $6.1 \text{ MeV}$,respectively,then in the process,$\Delta Mc^2 = . . . . . . \text{ MeV}$.
