Error probabilities for a chi-square test

Let X1,X2,X3,X4X_{1},X_{2},X_{3},X_{4} be a random sample of size 44 from a χm2\chi^{2}_{m} distribution, where m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N} is an unknown parameter. To test H0:m=1H_{0}:m=1 against H1:m=2H_{1}:m=2, the critical region ∑i=14Xi>6\sum_{i=1}^{4}X_{i}>6 is being used. If α\alpha and β\beta denote the probabilities of Type-I error and Type-II error, respectively, then which one of the following statements is true? [You may use χ1,0.01432=χ2,0.04982=χ4,0.19912=χ8,0.64722=6\chi^{2}_{1,0.0143}=\chi^{2}_{2,0.0498}=\chi^{2}_{4,0.1991}=\chi^{2}_{8,0.6472}=6]
