The binding energies of the atoms of elements P and Q are Ep and EQ, respectively. Three atoms of element Q fuse to form one atom of element P. In this process, the energy released is e. The correct relation between EP,EQ and e will be

Solution
The correct option is BEP=3EQ−e Binding energy of 3Q elements will be 3EQ So, by energy conservation, binding energy of three P elements is equal to the sum of Q element's binding energy and the released energy. So, equation is Ep+e=3EQ Ep=3EQ−e
