$A$ nucleus $X$ emits a beta particle to produce a nucleus $Y$. If their atomic masses are $M_{x}$ and $M_{y}$ respectively, the maximum energy of the beta particle emitted is (where $m_{e}$ is the mass of an electron and $c$ is the velocity of light):

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.
