In alpha decay atomic number decreases by 2 while atomic mass decreses by 4.
But in beta decay atmic number increases by 1 and atomic mass remains constant.
Now
To solve any question first of all check for atomic mass.
By this you can check for alpha decay and then proceed for beta decays.
Atomic mass deceased by 32 hence alpha decay = 32/4 = 8
Now
Atomic numbwr should be 92 - 16 = 76
But final atomic number = 82
Hence increment in atomic number = 6
Hence 6 beta decay
