Q10:

If $M(A,~Z)$ , $M_p$ , and $M_n$ denote the masses of the nucleus $^{A}_{Z}X,$ proton, and neutron respectively in units of $u$ $(1~u=931.5~\text{MeV/c}^2)$ and represent its binding energy $(BE)$ in $\text{MeV}$ . Then:

1.	$M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n- \dfrac{BE}{c^2}$
2.	$M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n+ BE$
3.	$M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n- BE$
4.	$M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n+ \dfrac{BE}{c^2}$
