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

Answer: (A)

Solution

Both sets of products are fission products of (mass and charge balance: 137 + 97 + 2 = 236, 53 + 39 = 92; 140 + 94 + 2 = 236, 56 + 36 = 92). Fission of a heavy nucleus into medium nuclei releases energy because the products
