For the following fusion reaction, $4{ }^{1} \mathrm{H} \rightarrow{ }^{4} \mathrm{He}+2 \beta^{+}+2 \nu+\gamma$ the Q-value (energy of the reaction) in MeV (rounded off to one decimal place) is ____ . (Given: Mass of ${ }^{1} \mathrm{H}$ nucleus is 1.007825 u and mass of ${ }^{4} \mathrm{He}$ nucleus is 4.002604 u )
Answer
Answer (as printed): 26.7

The options are missing from the source scan for this question, so there is nothing here for this letter to point at. The letter is what the book printed.

Explanation
Answer: 26.7 MeV — Δm = 4 × 1.007825 − 4.002604 = 0.028696 u; Q = 0.028696 × 931.5 = 26.7 MeV.
