Answer:
c. 2 MeV.
Explanation:
The computation of the binding energy is shown below
[tex]= [Zm_p + (A - Z)m_n - N]c^2\\\\=[(1) (1.007825u) + (2 - 1 ) ( 1.008665 u) - 2.014102 u]c^2\\\\= (0.002388u)c^2\\\\= (.002388) (931.5 MeV)\\\\=2.22 MeV[/tex]
= 2 MeV
As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2
hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV
Therefore the correct option is c.
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come
And, the same is to be considered
