$A$ $\gamma$-ray photon creates an electron-positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is $0.51 \, MeV$ and the total kinetic energy of the electron-positron pair is $0.78 \, MeV$,then the energy of the $\gamma$-ray photon in $MeV$ is:

Assertion : Energy is released in nuclear fission.
Reason : Total binding energy of the fission fragments is larger than the total binding energy of the parent nucleus.
