Correct Answer - A
The total mass of the initial particles,
`m_(i)=1.007825+7.016004=8.023829u`
and the total mass of final particles,
`m_(f)=2xx4.002603=8.005206u`
Difference between initial and final mass of particles, `Deltam=m_(i)-m_(f)=8.023829=8.005206=0.018623u`
The Q-value is given by
`Q=(Deltam)c^(2)=0.018623xx931.5=17.35MeV`
