The Binding energy per nucleon of \(^{7}_{3}\mathrm{Li}\) and \(^{4}_{2}\mathrm{He}\) nucleon are \(5.60~\text{MeV}\) and \(7.06~\text{MeV}\), respectively. In the nuclear reaction \(^{7}_{3}\mathrm{Li} + ^{1}_{1}\mathrm{H} \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}\mathrm{He} + ^{4}_{2}\mathrm{He} +Q\), the value of energy \(Q\) released is:
1. \(19.6~\text{MeV}\)
2. \(-2.4~\text{MeV}\)
3. \(8.4~\text{MeV}\)
4. \(17.3~\text{MeV}\)
