During the nuclear reaction described by
235W →235X→231Y
929391

the particles emitted are respectively
A
α and α
B
α and β
C
β and β
D
β and α
correct option: d
The decay process illustrated above shows that the lost β -particle to decay to the X by increase its atomic number ( from 92 to 93) and leaving the mass no. unaffected. There after, x decayed by -α emission to give Y, by decreasing the mass no. by 2 ( from 93 to 91).
Thus , the emission is β and α particles respectively
