Atomic nucleus formula

The following represents the reaction formula of an atomic nucleus:

N + 2 4 He 8 17 O + 1 1 H . \text{N} + \text{ }_{2}^{4}\text{He} \rightarrow \text{ }_{8}^{17}\text{O} +\text{ }_{1}^{1}\text{H}.

Which of the following are true?

a. The atomic number of N \text{N} is 6. 6.
b. The mass number of N \text{N} is 14. 14.
c. In the above formula, the total mass on each side is the same.
d. In the above formula, the total nuclear charge remains the same.

a, c b, d a, b c, d

We know mass number of nitrogen is 14.And the solution always to be balance the equation.In order to that we don't have options with b and c.But the nuclear charge in both sides are same in order to make the reaction feasible.So answer is b,d
