1.	Assertion: The nuclear energy can be obtained by the nuclear fission of heavier nuclei as well as by fusion of lighter nuclei. Reason: As the mass number increases, the binding energy per nucleon, first increases and then decreases.A. (a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.B. (b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.C. (c) If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.D. (d) If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
Answer» Correct Answer - A::B In binding energy per nucleon versus mass number graph binding energy per nucleon of daughter nuclei should increase (for release of energy) or the daughter nuclei should lie towards the peak of the graph.
