    In the radioactive decay \[_{92}{{X}^{232}}\to {{\,}_{89}}{{Y}^{220}}\], how many \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \]- particles are ejected from \[X\] to form \[Y\] [CBSE 1999]

    A)                 \[3\alpha \] and \[3\beta \]        

    B)                 \[5\alpha \] and \[3\beta \]

    C)                 \[3\alpha \] and \[5\beta \]        

    D)                 \[5\alpha \] and \[5\beta \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

           \[_{92}{{X}^{232}}{{\to }_{89}}{{Y}^{220}}+{{x}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}+{{y}_{-1}}{{e}^{o}}\]                    no. of \[\alpha \]-particles = \[\frac{232-220}{4}=3\]                                 no. of \[\beta \]-particles =  89 ?[92 ? 2 × 3] = 3.
