Statement-I: The BE per nucleon of the fused heavier nuclei is more than the B.E per nucleon of the lighter nuclei.

Statement-II: The final system is more tightly bound to the initial system.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement-I and Statement-II are true

Option A (Statement-I and Statement-II are true) is correct because fusion results in heavier nuclei with higher binding energy per nucleon, making the final system more tightly bound.
