The correct answer is:
$5.6 \mathrm{MeV}$
If $\mathrm{m}=1 \mathrm{u}, \mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, then $\mathrm{E}=931 \mathrm{MeV}$ ie, $1 \mathrm{u}=931 \mathrm{MeV}$ Binding energy $=0.042 \times 931=39.10 \mathrm{MeV}$ $\therefore$ Binding energy per nucleon
$$
=\frac{39.10}{7}=5.58 \approx 5.6 \mathrm{MeV}
