Solving time: 2 mins

The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon $E_{b}$ , against the nuclear mass $M; A, B, C, D, E, F$ correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions
$A + B \to C + ε$
$C \to A + B + ε$
$D + E \to F + ε$
$F \to D + E + ε$
where $ε$ is the energy released? In which reaction is $ε$ positive?

Energy

ε

is related only when lighter nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus such as in reaction (i)

A + B \to C + ε

Again ,energy is released when a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei as in(iv)

F \to D + E + ε
