In a process, three nuclei of elements Q ( Binding energy = EQ ) fuse to form one nucleus of element P ( Binding energy = Ep ) with release of energy ‘e’. The correct relation between EP, EQ and e will be

The given reaction can be stated as, 3Q → P + energy (e) Energy released, e = EP - 3EQ EP = 3EQ + e
Statement - 1 : Energy is released in nuclear fission.
Statement - 2 : Total binding energy of the fission fragments is larger than the total binding energy of the parent nucleus.
Total binding energy of fragment nucleus is more than total binding energy of parent nucleus. Since binding energy results in decrease of total energy. Hence there is great decrease in energy fragment nucleus because energy is released in nuclear fission. A → B + E (Parent) (Fragment) (Energy) Energy of B is decrease but the binding energy of B is increased due to release of energy from it. So reason supports the assertion.
