Detailed Solution

In a decay reaction the total energy of parent nucleus and the total energy of the products is same because of energy conservation.

In fission process, BE per nucleon of parent nucleus (eg Uranium has 7.6MeV) is less than the binding energy per nucleon of daughter nuclei (approx 8.5MeV).

In both fission and fusion processes, the mass of parent nuclei is greater than the mass of daughter nuclei. The difference in mass gives rise to mass defect.
