Let mp be the mass of a proton, mn that of a neutron, M1 that of a 2010Ne nucleus and M2 that of a 4020Ca nucleus. Then

(a) M2 = 2M1

(b) M1 < 10(mp + mn)

(c) M2 > 2M1

(d) M1 = M2

Correct answer: (a) M2 = 2M1

Explanation:

2010Ne contains 10 protons and 10 neutron

∴ M1 = 10mp + 10mn

4020Ca contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons

∴ M2 = 20mp + 10mn

∴ M2 = 2M1
