Activity of a radioactive substance is $R_1$ at time $t_1$ and $R_2$ at time $t_2$ $(t_2 > t_1)$. Then the ratio $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$ is:

The ratio of the number of active nuclei in two different samples is $2:3$. Their half-lives are $2 \ hours$ and $3 \ hours$ respectively. After $12 \ hours$,the ratio of their activities will be:

After $40 \, days$,the $1/16$th part of a radioactive element remains undecayed. What is its half-life (in $, days$)?

Assertion : If the half-life of a radioactive substance is $40 \ days$,then $25\%$ of the substance decays in $20 \ days$.
Reason : $N = N_0 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n$,where $n = \frac{\text{time elapsed}}{\text{half-life period}}$.

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