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.

Originally the radioactive beta decay was thought as a decay of a nucleus with the emission of electrons only (Case $I$) . However, in addition to the electron, another (nearly) massless and electrically neutral particle is also emitted (Case $II$). Based on the figure below, which of the following is correct?
