The binding energies of the nuclei \(A\) and \(B\) are \(E_a\) and \(E_b\) respectively. If three atoms of the element \(B\) fuse to give one atom of element \(A\) and an energy \(Q\) is released, then \(E_a, E_b\) and \(Q\) are related as:
1. \(E_a-3E_b= Q\)
2. \(3E_b-E_a= Q\)
3. \(E_a+ 3E_b=Q\)
4. \(E_b+ 3E_a=Q\)
