An accident in a nuclear laboratory resulted in the deposition of a certain amount of radioactive material with a half-life of $18$ days inside the laboratory. Tests revealed that the radiation level was $64$ times higher than the permissible level required for safe operation. What is the minimum number of days after which the laboratory can be considered safe for use?

The half-life of a radioactive isotope $X$ is $20$ years. It decays to another element $Y$,which is stable. The two elements $X$ and $Y$ were found to be in the ratio $1:7$ in a sample of a given rock. The age of the rock is estimated to be:
