In the options given below, let EE denote the rest mass energy of a nucleus and nn a neutron. (1) E(92236U)>E(53137I)+E(3997Y)+2E(n)E\left({}_{92}^{236}\text{U}\right) > E\left({}_{53}^{137}\text{I}\right) + E\left({}_{39}^{97}\text{Y}\right) + 2E(n) (2) E(92236U)<E(53137I)+E(3997Y)+2E(n)E\left({}_{92}^{236}\text{U}\right) < E\left({}_{53}^{137}\text{I}\right) + E\left({}_{39}^{97}\text{Y}\right) + 2E(n) (3) E(92236U)<E(56140Ba)+E(3694Kr)+2E(n)E\left({}_{92}^{236}\text{U}\right) < E\left({}_{56}^{140}\text{Ba}\right) + E\left({}_{36}^{94}\text{Kr}\right) + 2E(n) (4) E(92236U)=E(56140Ba)+E(3694Kr)+2E(n)E\left({}_{92}^{236}\text{U}\right) = E\left({}_{56}^{140}\text{Ba}\right) + E\left({}_{36}^{94}\text{Kr}\right) + 2E(n)
