The binding energies of the atoms of elements A and B are Ea and Eb respectively. Three atoms of the elements B fuse to give one atom of element A. This fusion process is accompained by release of energy E. Then Ea, Eb and E are related to each other as:
A. Ea + E = 3 Eb
B. Ea = 3Eb
C. Ea – Eb
D. Ea + 3Eb + E = 0
Answer:A
