Statement-1: A nucleus having energy

Question:

Statement-1: A nucleus having energy $\mathrm{E}_{1}$ decays $\beta^{-}$emission to daughter nucleus having energy $\mathrm{E}_{2}$, but the $\beta^{-}$rays are emitted with a continuous energy spectrum having end point energy $\mathrm{E}_{1}-\mathrm{E}_{2}$. Statement-1: To conserve energy and momentum in $\beta$-decay at least three particles must take part in the transformation.
