A nucleus emits an -particle. The resultant nucleus emits a particle. The respective atomic and mass number of final nucleus will be

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

\begin{array}{l} { }_{Z}^{A} X \rightarrow_{2}^{4} H e+_{Z-2}^{A-2} Y \\ { }_{Z-2}^{A-4} Y \rightarrow e^{+}+{ }_{Z-3}^{A-4} Y^{\prime} \end{array} During emission. The proton changes into neutron. So, charge number decreases by 1 but mass number remains unchanged.
