A nucleus ${}_Z{}^{A}X$ has mass represented by m(A, Z). If $m_p$ and $m_n$ denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and BE is the binding energy (in MeV), then:
[2007]

1. BE = [m(A, Z) - Z$m_p$- (A - Z)$m_n$] $c^2$

2. BE = [Z$m_p$+ (A - Z)$m_n$- m(A,Z)] $c^2$

3. BE = [Z$m_p$+ A$m_n$- m(A, Z)] $c^2$

4. BE = m(A, Z) - Z$m_p$- (A, Z)$m_n$
