The correct answer is:
$6 \alpha$ and $4 \beta$
No. of $\alpha$ particles $=\frac{232-208}{4}=\frac{24}{4}=6 \alpha$
No. of $\beta$ particles $=2 \times 6-(90-82)$
$$
\begin{array}{l}
=12-8 \\
=4 \beta
\end{array}
$$
Hence, $6 \alpha$ and $4 \beta$ particles are emitted.
No. of $\beta$ particles $=2 \times 6-(90-82)$
