During a beta decay

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 beta -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.

A radioactive nucleus can decay by two different processes. The mean value period for the process is Z_(1) and that for the second process is Z_(2) . The effective mean value period for the two processes is:
