Assertion: ${}_Z{X^A}$ undergoes a $2\alpha  -$ decays, $2\beta  -$ decays and $2\gamma  - $ decays and the daughter product is ${}_{Z - 2}{X^{A - 8}}$

Reason : In $\alpha  - $decays the mass number decreases by $4$ and atomic number decreases by $2$. In $2\beta  - $ decays the mass number remains unchanged, but atomic number increases by $1$ only.
