The figure shows a plot of number of neutron (N) versus number of protons (z) in all stable nuclei found in nature. What kind of decay are nuclei X,Y and Z expected to show?

A plot of the number of neutrons (n) against the number of protons (p) of stable nuclei exhibits upward deviation from linearity for atomic number, Zgt 20. For an unstable nucleus having n//p ratio less than 1, the possible mode (s) of decay is (are)
