Staements I: `._zX^4` undergoes `2 alpha`-decays, `2 beta`-decays (negative `beta`) and `2 gamma`-decays. As a result, the daughter product is `._z._-2X^(A-B)`.
Staements II: In `alpha`-decay, the mass number decreases by 4 unit and atomic number decreases by `2` unit. In `beta`-decay (negative `beta`), the mass number remains unchanged and atomic number increases by `1` unit. In `gamma`-decay, mass number and atomic number remain unchanged.

Options

A. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2: is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
B. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2: is true, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
C. Statement-1 is true but statement-2 is false
D. Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true

Answer

A

Explanation

Statement-2 is true by definition and correctly explanis the statement-1, namely `._(Z)X^(A)` undergoes `2 alpha` decays, `2 beta` decays (negative `beta`) and `2gamma` decays. As a result the daugther product is `._(z-2)Y^(A-8)`
