The binding energy per nucleon in deuterium and helium nuclei are \(1.1\) MeV and \(7.0\) MeV, respectively. When two deuterium nuclei fuse to form a helium nucleus the energy released in the fusion is:
1. \(2.2\) MeV
2. \(28.0\) MeV
3. \(30.2\) MeV
4. \(23.6\) MeV

| Assertion (A): | In \(\alpha \text-\text{decay}\) atomic number of the daughter nucleus is reduced by \(2\) units from the parent nucleus. |
| Reason (R): | An \(\alpha \text-\text{particle}\) carries four units of mass. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| (a) | nuclear forces have short-range. |
