1. \(^{m-}{}_n^6 \mathrm{Z} \) 2. \(^{m-}{}_{n}^{4} \mathrm{X} \)
3. \(^{m-4}_{n-2} \mathrm{Y}\) 4. \(^{m-6}_{n-4} \mathrm{Z} \)

In the nuclear decay given below:
\({ }_{\mathrm{Z}}^{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{X} \rightarrow { }_{\mathrm{Z}+1}^{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{Y}\rightarrow { }_{\mathrm{Z-1}}^{\mathrm{A-4}} \mathrm{B}\rightarrow { }_{\mathrm{Z-1}}^{\mathrm{A-4}} \mathrm{B}\) the particles emitted in the sequence are:
1. \(\beta, \alpha, \gamma\) 2. \( \gamma, \beta, \alpha\)
3. \(\beta, \gamma,\alpha\) 4. \(\alpha,\beta, \gamma\)

The number of beta particles emitted by a radioactive substance is twice the number of alpha particles emitted by it. The resulting daughter is an:

1. isobar of a parent. 2. isomer of a parent.
3. isotone of a parent. 4. isotope of a parent.

The decay constants of two radioactive materials X1 and X2 are \(5\lambda\) and \(\lambda\) respectively. Initially, they have the same number of nuclei.  The ratio of the number of nuclei of X1 to that of X2  will be \(1/e\) after a time:
1. \(\lambda\)

2. \(\frac{1}{2\lambda }\)

3. \(\frac{1}{4\lambda }\)

4. \(\frac{e}{\lambda }\)

In the radioactive decay process, the negatively charged emitted β-particles are:

1. the electrons present inside the nucleus
2. the electrons produced as a result of the decay
of neutrons inside the nucleus
3. the electrons produced as a result of collisions
between atoms
4. the electrons orbiting around the nucleus
