The binding energies of the atom of elements A and B are Ea and Eb respectively. Three atoms of the element B fuse to give one atom of element A. This fusion process is accompanied by release of energy e. Then Ea,Eb are related to each other as
A
Ea+e=3Eb

Solution
The correct option is AEa+e=3Eb Binding energy of three B elements will be 3Eb So, by energy conservation, binding energy of three B elements is equal to the sum of A element's binding energy and the released energy. o, equation is Ea+e=3Eb
