The reaction is X²? → Y¹²? + Z¹²?
Binding energies per nucleon are: X=7.6 MeV, Y=8.5 MeV, Z=8.5 MeV.
Gain in binding energy (Q) = (Binding energy of products) - (Binding energy of reactants)
Q = (120 × 8.5 + 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV
Q = (2 × 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV = 2040 - 1824 = 216 MeV.
