Detailed Solution

Due to mass defect (which is finally responsible for the binding energy of the nucleus), mass of a nucleus is always less then the sum of masses of it's constituent particles  1020Ne is made up of 10 protons plus 10 neutrons. Therefore, mass of  1020Ne nucleus M1<10 mp+mn
Also heavier the nucleus, more is he mass defect thus 20(mn+mpM2>10mp+mnM1  or 10mp+mn>M2M1
M2<M1+10mp+mnM2<M1+M1M2<2M1.
