(B) Energy is released in a nuclear reaction if the total binding energy of the products is greater than the total binding energy of the reactants. This corresponds to an increase in the binding energy per nucleon $(B/A)$.$(1)$ For $1 100$,where $B/A = 8 \text{ MeV}$. Since $B/A$ increases,energy is released. Thus,$(A)$ is correct.$(2)$ For $100 200$,where $B/A = 4 \text{ MeV}$. Since $B/A$ decreases,energy is absorbed. Thus,$(B)$ is incorrect.$(3)$ For $100 $(4)$ For $200 Therefore,the correct choices are $(A)$ and $(D)$.

Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon $(B/A)$ versus mass number $(A)$ is as shown in the figure. Use this plot to choose the correct choice$(s)$ given below:
$(A)$ Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of $1 < A < 100$ will release energy.
$(B)$ Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy.
$(C)$ Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy when broken into two equal fragments.
$(D)$ Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of $200 < A < 260$ will release energy when broken into two equal fragments.

Nuclear Fission, Fusion and Nuclear Reactor

In a nuclear fission reaction of an isotope of mass $M$,three similar daughter nuclei of the same mass are formed. The speed of a daughter nucleus in terms of mass defect $\Delta M$ will be:
