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

a. E( 236 U) > E( 137 I) + E(97 Y) + 2E(N)
( 92 ) ( 53 ) (39 )
b. E( 236 U) < E( 140 I) + E(94 Y) + 2E(N)
( 92 ) ( 56 ) (36 )
c. E( 236 U) = E( 140 I) + E(94 Y) + 2E(N)
( 92 ) ( 56 ) (36 )
d. E( 236 U) < E( 137 I) + E(97 Y) + 2E(N)
( 92 ) ( 53 ) (39 )
