A radio active isotope X A Z  decays in series by emitting 3 α -particles and two β- particles. The product will be 

a
Y A-13 Z-3
b
Z-4YA-12
c
Z-5YA-11
d
Z-6YA-11

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Each  α-decay decreases the atomic number by 2 and mass number by 4. Each  β--decay increases the atomic number by 1. Hence net atomic number decreases by 4 while net mass number decreases by 12.
