The half-life of a radioactive isotope $X$ is $50$ years. It decays to another element $Y$ which is stable. The two elements $X$ and $Y$ were found to be in the ratio of $1 : 15$ in a sample of a given rock. The age of the rock was estimated to be..........$years$.

The half-life period of element $X$ is same as the mean life time of element $Y$. Assume initially $X$ and $Y$ have same number of atoms. Then

Two radioactive materials $A$ and $B$ have decay constants $10\lambda$ and $\lambda$,respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei,then the ratio of the number of nuclei of $A$ to that of $B$ will be $1/e$ after a time:
