Solar energy is mainly caused due to:
1. burning of hydrogen in the oxygen
2. fission of uranium present in the sun
3. fusion of protons during synthesis of heavier elements
4. gravitational contraction

If a \({}_{a}^{b}\mathrm{X}\) species emits firstly a positron, then two \(\alpha\) and two \(\beta\) and at last one \(\alpha\) is also emitted and finally converted into stable \({}_{d}^{c}\mathrm{Y}\) species, so the correct relation will be:
1. \(c = b-12, d = a-5\)
2. \(a = c-8, d = b-1\)
3. \(a = c-6, d = b-0\)
4. \(a = c-4, a = b-2\)
