Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
We know that energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion. Therefore state (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.
