What is beta -decay? What is the consequence of an beta -decay on a radioactive element ?

Staements I: In alpha decay of different radioactive nuclides, the energy of alpha particles has been compared. It is found that as the energy of alpha particle increases the half-life of the decay goes on decreasing. Staements II: More is the energy in any decay process, more is the probability of decaying the nuclide which leads to faster rate of decay.

Explain how radio-active nucleus can emit beta -particles even though nuclei do not contain these particles. Hence explain why the mass number of radioactive nuclide does not change during beta - decay.

The graph represents the decay of a newly-prepared sample of radioactive nuclide X to a stable nuclide Y. The half-life of X is t. The growth curve for Y intersects the decay curve for X after time T. What is the time T ?
