Problem

In the reaction

^1_1\text{H} + ^3_1\text{H} \rightarrow ^4_2\text{He} + ^1_0\text{n}

, if binding energies of

^1_1\text{H}

^3_1\text{H}

and

^4_2\text{He}

are respectively

a

b

and

c

(in MeV), then the energy released in this reaction is: (1)

a + b + c

(2)

a + b - c

(3)

c - (a + b)

(4)

c + a - b
