In the options given below, let $E$ denote the rest mass energy of a nucleus and $n$ a neutron. The correct option is

• Correct answer
  A

  $E\left({ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right)>E\left({ }_{53}^{137} \mathrm{I}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{97} Y\right)+2 E(n)$
• B

  $\left.E{ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right) < E\left({ }_{53}^{137} \mathrm{I}\right)+E\left({ }_{39}^{97} Y\right)+2 E(n)$
• C

  $E\left({ }_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right) < E\left(5_{56}^{140} \mathrm{Ba}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{94} \mathrm{Kr}\right)+2 E(n)$
• D

  $E\left(9_{92}^{236} \mathrm{U}\right) < E\left(5_{56}^{140} \mathrm{Ba}\right)+E\left({ }_{36}^{94} \mathrm{Kr}\right)+2 E(n)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
