If in a nuclear fusion process. the masses of the fusing nuclei be \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) and the mass of the resultant nucleus be \(m_3,\) then:
1. \( m_3=\left|m_1-m_2 \right|\) 2. \( m_3<\left ( m_1+m_2 \right ) \)
3. \( m_3>\left ( m_1+m_2 \right ) \) 4. \( m_3=\left ( m_1+m_2 \right ) \)

\(M_p\) denotes the mass of a proton and \(M_n\) that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy \(B\), contains \(Z\) protons and \(N\) neutrons. The mass \(M(N,Z)\) of the nucleus is given by:
(\(c\) is the velocity of light )
1. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p+ Bc^2\)
2. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p-\frac{B}{c^2}\)
3. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p+\frac{B}{c^2}\)
4. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p- Bc^2\)
