Nuclear Fission & Fusion

If in a nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be m1 and m2 and the mass of the resultant nucleus be m3, then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

In fusion energy is released, and this energy comes from a loss of mass ( $E = \Delta m\,c^2$ ).
So the product is lighter than the reactants: $m_3 < m_1 + m_2$ .
So the answer is (c).
