Answer

$^{212}_{84}Po$

Work Step by Step

in $\beta^{-}$ deacy $^{A}_{Z}P$ $\longrightarrow$ $^{A}_{Z+1}D+^{0}_{-1}e$ Here $P$ is parent nucleus, $D$ is daughter nucleus and $^{0}_{-1}e$ is positron or $\beta^{-}$ particle $^{208}_{81}Tl$ $\longrightarrow$ $^{208}_{82}Pb+^{0}_{-1}e$ so daughter of this decay is $^{208}_{82}Pb$ $^{208}_{82}Pb$ is also daughter of another $\alpha$ decay in $\alpha $ deacy $^{A}_{Z}P$ $\longrightarrow$ $^{A-4}_{Z-2}D+^{4}_{2}He$ Here $P$ is parent nucleus,$D$ is daughter nucleus and $^{0}_{+1}e$ is positron or $\beta^{+}$ particle so if daughter is given then parent will have two more proton and in total four more nucleon. so $^{212}_{84}Po$ $\longrightarrow$ $^{208}_{82}Pb+^{4}_{2}He$
