  1. A nucleus of uranium undergoes fission.

01n+92235U56141Ba+36xKr+301n{}_0^1n + {}_{92}^{235}U \rightarrow {}_{56}^{141}Ba + {}_{36}^{x}Kr + 3\,{}_0^1n

What is correct about the number of nucleons x in the Kr nucleus and the ratio (binding energy per nucleon of Kr) / (binding energy per nucleon of Ba)?

Number of nucleons x in Kr nucleusRatio
A.92Greater than 1
B.92Less than 1
C.94Greater than 1
D.94Less than 1
