The energy released in the fusion of 2 kg of hydrogen deep in the sun is 
and the energy released in the fission of 2 kg of 
is 
. The ratio 
is approximately:
(Consider the fusion reaction as 
, energy released in the fission reaction of 
is 200 MeV per fission nucleus and 
)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In each fusion reaction, 
nucleus are used.
Energy released per Nuclei of 
Energy released by 2 kg hydrogen 
Energy released by 2 kg Vranium ( 
)
So, 
Approximately close to 7.62
