$A$ $280\, \text{day}$ old radioactive substance shows an activity of $6000\, \text{dps}$. $140\, \text{days}$ later, its activity becomes $3000\, \text{dps}$. What was its initial activity? ......... $\text{dps}$

The half-life of $Bi^{210}$ is $5 \ days$. What time is taken by $(7/8)^{th}$ part of the sample to decay?

$A$ parent nucleus $X$ decays into a daughter nucleus $Y$,which in turn decays into $Z$. The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \, yr$ and $20 \, yr$,respectively. In a certain sample,it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$,the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is

At a certain time,radioactive elements are taken in the ratio $2:1$. Their half-lives are $12$ hours and $16$ hours respectively. What will be the ratio of the undecayed parts after $2$ days?

The activity of a radioactive material is $2.56 \times 10^{-3} \, Ci$. If the half-life of the material is $5 \, \text{days}$, after how many days will the activity become $2 \times 10^{-5} \, Ci$?

The decay constant of a radioisotope is $\lambda$. If $A_1$ and $A_2$ are its activities at times $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively,what is the number of nuclei that have decayed during the time interval $(t_1 - t_2)$?
