MCQ
This question contains Statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement$-1$: Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion and
Statement$-2$ : For heavy nuclei, binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing $Z$ while for light nuclei it decreases with increasing $Z.$
  • Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is false
  • B
    Statement$-1$ is false, Statement$-2$ is true
  • C
    Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is true; Statement$-2$ is a correct explanation for Statement$-1$
  • D
    Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is true; Statement$-2$ is not a correct explanation for Statement$-1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is false
a
We know that energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion. Therefore statement $( 1 )$ is correct.

The second statement is false because for heavy nuclei the binding energy per nucleon decreases with increasing $Z$ and for light nuclei, $B.E$ /nucleon increases with increasing $Z$
