Assertion: ${}_{Z}{X^{A}}$ undergoes $2\alpha$-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 the atomic number decreases by $2$. In $\beta$-decays,the mass number remains unchanged,but the atomic number increases by $1$.

Assertion: Radioactive nuclei emit $\beta^-$ particles.
Reason: Electrons exist inside the nucleus.

The nucleus ${ }_{Z}^{A} X$ undergoes the series of reactions given below:
${ }_{Z}^{A} X \stackrel{\alpha \text {-decay }}{\longrightarrow} P \stackrel{\beta \text {-decay }}{\longrightarrow} Q \stackrel{\alpha \text {-decay }}{\longrightarrow} R$

Assertion: ${}^{90}Sr$ from the radioactive fallout of a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of the production of red blood cells.
Reason: The energetic $\beta$-particles emitted in the decay of ${}^{90}Sr$ damage the bone marrow.
