Questions  

A nucleus decays by β+ emission followed by a gamma emission. If  the atomic and mass numbers of the parent nucleus are Z and respectively, 
the corresponding numbers for the daughter nucleus are respectively.

a
Z - 1 and A - 1
b
Z + 1 and A
c
Z - 1 and A
d
Z + 1 and A - 1

detailed solution

Correct option is C

After β+e 0 +1  emission atomic number decreases by one and mass number remain unchanged. γ-emission,  there will be no change on mass number and atomic number.
