\(M_p\) 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. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p- Bc^2\)

\(M_n~\text{and}~M_p\) represent the mass of the neutron and proton respectively. An element having mass \(M\) has \(N\) neutrons and \(Z\)-protons, then the correct relation will be:
1. \(M <\left \{N.M_n+Z.M_p \right \}\)
2. \(M >\left \{N.M_n+Z.M_p \right \}\)
3. \(M =\left \{N.M_n+Z.M_p \right \}\)
4. \(M =N\left \{M_n+M_p \right \}\)
