\(^{27}_{13}Al\) + \(^{1}_{0}n\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(^{24}_{11}Na\) + X
a proton
a gamma ray
a helium particle
an alpha particle

Explanation

\(^{27}_{13}Al\) + \(^{1}_{0}n\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(^{24}_{11}Na\) + \(^{b}_{a}X\)

a + 11 = 0 + 13 \(\Rightarrow\) a = 2

b + 24 = 1 + 27 \(\Rightarrow\) b = 4

\(^{b}_{a}X\) = \(^{4}_{2}\alpha\)
