Detailed Solution

If{\text{ }}it{\text{ }}was{\text{ }}A,y \to 2z

Reactant{\text{ }}:{\text{ }}R{\text{ }}= 60 \times 8.5 = 510MeV

Product{\text{ }}:{\text{ }}P{\text{ }} = 2 \times 30 \times 5 = 300MeV

\Delta E = - 210MeV,Endothermic.

 

If{\text{ }}it{\text{ }}was{\text{ }}B{\text{ }},w \to x + z

R = 120 \times 7.5 = 900MeV

P = 90 \times 8 + 30 \times 5 = 300MeV

\Delta E = - 30MeV, endothermic

 

If{\text{ }}it{\text{ }}was{\text{ }}C,w \to 2y

R = 120 \times 7.5 = 900MeV

P = 2 \times 60 \times 8.5 = 1020MeV

\Delta E = 120MeV,Exothermic.

 

If{\text{ }}it{\text{ }}was{\text{ }}D,x \to y + z\

R = 90 \times 8.0 = 720MeV

P = 60 \times 8.5 + 30 \times 5 = 660MeV

\Delta E = - 60MeV,Endothermic.
