Half-life of a radioactive element is $10 \, days$. The time during which the quantity remains $1/10$ of the initial mass will be ......... $days$.

$A$ radioactive sample decays by two modes: $\alpha$-decay and $\beta$-decay. $66.6\%$ of the time it decays by $\alpha$-decay and $33.3\%$ of the time it decays by $\beta$-decay. If the effective half-life of the sample is $60 \text{ years}$,what will be the half-life of the sample if it decays only by $\alpha$-decay? (in years)
