Radioactive nuclei that are injected into a patient collect at certain sites within their body,undergoing radioactive decay and emitting electromagnetic radiation. These radiations can then be recorded by a detector. This procedure provides an important diagnostic tool called:

  • A
    Gamma camera
  • B
    $CAT$ scan
  • C
    Radiotracer technique
  • D
    Gamma ray spectroscopy

In a radioactive decay chain,the initial nucleus is ${}_{90}^{232}Th$. At the end,$6$ $\alpha$-particles and $4$ $\beta$-particles are emitted. If the final nucleus is ${}_{Z}^{A}X$,then $A$ and $Z$ are given by:

$A$ radioactive nucleus undergoes a series of decays according to the scheme
$A \xrightarrow{\alpha} A_1 \xrightarrow{\beta} A_2 \xrightarrow{\alpha} A_3 \xrightarrow{\gamma} A_4$
If the mass number and atomic number of $A$ are $180$ and $72$,respectively,then what are these numbers for $A_4$?
