$A$ nucleus $^{A}_{Z} X$ has mass represented by $M(A, Z)$. If $M_p$ and $M_n$ denote the mass of a proton and a neutron respectively, and $B.E.$ is the binding energy in $MeV$, then:

$A$ nucleus of mass $M + \Delta m$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $\frac{M}{2}$ each. The speed of light is $c$. The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is $E_1$ and that for the daughter nuclei is $E_2$. Then:

The binding energy per nucleon of ${O^{16}}$ is $7.97 \,MeV$ and that of ${O^{17}}$ is $7.75 \,MeV$. The energy (in $MeV$) required to remove a neutron from ${O^{17}}$ is
