Answer #1

Number of Protons =92

Number of neutrons =238-92 =146

Mass of neutron =1.008665 amu

Mass of protons =1.007825 amu

Mass of uranium =238.0507882

Mass of defect=238.0507882-92×1.007825-146×1.008665=1.9342018 amu

Binding energy per nucleon=1.9342018×931.5/238 =7.57 MeV

So, second option is correct

Thank you and please thumbs up
