Detailed Solution

(C, D) Due to mass defect which is finally responsible for the binding energy of the nucleus, mass of a nucleus is always less than
the sum of masses of its constituent particles i.e., protons and neutrons. 2010Ne is made up of 10 protons and 10 neutrons.  Mass of 1020 Ne nucleus  M1<10mp+mn Heavier the nucleus, more is the mass defect 
20mn+mpM2>10mp+mnM1  or 10mn+mp>M2M1  or M2<M1+10mp+mn  Now, since M1<10mn+mp M2<2M1
