The binding energy of a nucleon in a nucleus is of the order of a few

$1 \text{ a.m.u.}$ is equivalent to

$A$ nucleus of mass $ 20 u $ emits a $ \gamma $ photon of energy $ 6 MeV $. If the emission is assumed to occur when the nucleus is free and at rest, then the nucleus will have a kinetic energy nearest to (take $ 1 u = 1.6 \times 10^{-27} kg $): (in $keV$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: For all elements, greater the mass of the nucleus, greater is the binding energy per nucleon.
Statement $II$: For all elements, nuclei with less binding energy per nucleon transform to nuclei with greater binding energy per nucleon.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The mass of a $_3^7Li$ nucleus is $0.042 \, u$ less than the sum of the masses of its constituent nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of the $_3^7Li$ nucleus is approximately ......... $MeV$.
