As we learned

\beta - decay -

It is a type of radioactive decay in which \alpha\: \beta rays and a neutrino are emitted  from an atomics nucleus.

- wherein

 \betadecay of an neutron transform it in to a proton by emission of an electron .

 

 

^{234}_{90}Th\overset{-\beta }{\rightarrow}\: \overset{-\beta }{\rightarrow}\: \: _{234}^{a_{2}}X\: \overset{-\alpha }{\rightarrow}\: \: _{90}^{230}Y


Option 1)

92 and 234

Option 2)

94 and 230

Option 3)

90 and 230

Option 4)
