The half-life of a radioactive element $A$ is the same as the mean-life of another radioactive element $B.$ Initially, both substances have the same number of atoms, then

${ }_{92}^{238} U$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. $A$ rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}$ of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$.
