n0→p++β-+antineutrino

so two neutrons of the parent nucleus will turn into protons after the emission.

as the daughter isotope has 7 neutrons....so the parent had 9.

It was my mistake............
I had read d question wrong
Akand S: i dint see IT GAVE 14N7
Akand S: i so i had taken and writtn 14N9 and got 5
m_manasmanohar: it doesnt matter how the mistake happens akand
m_manasmanohar: i am not proving that i am great
Akand S: but actually it was 14N5 which became 14N7
m_manasmanohar: ok?
m_manasmanohar: it is method to reproach ourselves
m_manasmanohar: ok
Akand S: tht doesnt mean u apply wrong concept
m_manasmanohar: that all nobody asks
Akand S: hehe
