The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron $({ }_{1} H^{2})$ and the helium atom $({ }_{2} He^{4})$ are $1.1 \ MeV$ and $7 \ MeV$ respectively. If two deuteron nuclei fuse to form a single helium nucleus,then the energy released is: (in $MeV$)

In any fission process,the ratio $\frac{\text{mass of fission products}}{\text{mass of parent nucleus}}$ is

In the options given below, let $E$ denote the rest mass energy of a nucleus and $n$ a neutron. The correct option is:

The nuclear fusion reaction is given as $_1H^2 + _1H^2 \to _2He^3 + n + 3.2 \, MeV$. How much energy is released when $2 \, kg$ of deuterium undergoes fusion?

Consider the nuclear fission reaction ${ }_0^1 n+{ }_{92}^{235} U \longrightarrow{ }_{56}^{144} Ba+{ }_{36}^{89} Kr+3{ }_0^1 n$. Assuming all the kinetic energy is carried away by the fast neutrons only and total binding energies of ${ }_{92}^{235} U, { }_{56}^{144} Ba$ and ${ }_{36}^{89} Kr$ to be $1800 \ MeV, 1200 \ MeV$ and $780 \ MeV$ respectively,the average kinetic energy carried by each fast neutron is (in $MeV$):
