 To solve this problem, we need to understand the radioactive decay processes and the particles emitted during each decay. Let's analyze each decay process in List-I and match it with the appropriate emitted particles in List-II.

List-I:

  • (P) 92238U91234Pa

  • (Q) 82214Pb82210Pb

  • (R) 81210Tl82206Pb

  • (S) 91228Pa88224Ra

List-II:

  1. One α particle and one β⁺ particle

  2. Three β⁻ particles and one α particle

  3. Two β⁻ particles and one α particle

  4. One α particle and one β⁻ particle

  5. One α particle and two β⁺ particles

Analysis:

  1. Decay (P): 92238U91234Pa

    • Uranium-238 decays to Protactinium-234.

    • The atomic number decreases by 1 (92 to 91), indicating the emission of a β⁺ particle (positron).

    • The mass number decreases by 4 (238 to 234), indicating the emission of an α particle.

    • Match: (1) One α particle and one β⁺ particle.

  2. Decay (Q): 82214Pb82210Pb

    • Lead-214 decays to Lead-210.

    • The atomic number remains the same (82), indicating no β decay.

    • The mass number decreases by 4 (214 to 210), indicating the emission of an α particle.

    • Match: (4) One α particle and one β⁻ particle.

  3. Decay (R): 81210Tl82206Pb

    • Thallium-210 decays to Lead-206.

    • The atomic number increases by 1 (81 to 82), indicating the emission of a β⁻ particle.

    • The mass number decreases by 4 (210 to 206), indicating the emission of an α particle.

    • Match: (3) Two β⁻ particles and one α particle.

  4. Decay (S): 91228Pa88224Ra

    • Protactinium-228 decays to Radium-224.

    • The atomic number decreases by 3 (91 to 88), indicating the emission of three β⁺ particles.

    • The mass number decreases by 4 (228 to 224), indicating the emission of an α particle.

    • Match: (2) Three β⁻ particles and one α particle.

Correct Option:

  • (A) P4,Q3,R2,S1

However, based on the analysis:

  • P1

  • Q4

  • R3

  • S2

Thus, the correct option is:

  • (A) P4,Q3,R2,S1 is incorrect.

  • The correct matching is not listed in the provided options.

Final Answer: None of the provided options correctly match the decays with the emitted particles based on the analysis.
