Assertion : ZXA undergoes 2α–decays. 2β–decays and 2γ–decays and the daughter product is Z–2YA–8.
Reason : In α–decay the mass number decreases by 4 and atomic number decreases by 2 . In β–decay the mass number remains unchanged, but atomic number increases by 1 only.
  1. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. If assertion is true but reason is false.
