A nucleus _n^mX emits one -particle and two ^ - particles. The resulting nucleus is

[_n^mXxrightarrow _n - 2X^m - 4xrightarrow2 _nX^m - 4]

a nucleus n pow mx emits one alpha particle and two beta

A nucleus $$_n^mX$$ emits one $$\alpha $$-particle and two $${\beta ^ - }$$ particles. The resulting nucleus is

A. $${}_n^{m - 6}Z$$

B. $${}_n^{m - 4}X$$

C. $${}_{n - 2}^{m - 4}Y$$

D. $${}_{n - 4}^{m - 4}Z$$

Answer : $${}_n^{m - 4}X$$

Solution :
\[_n^mX{\xrightarrow{\alpha }_{n - 2}}{X^{m - 4}}{\xrightarrow{{2\beta }}_n}{X^{m - 4}}\]
