Which is the correct expression for half-life?

$A$ radioactive element emits $\alpha$ and $\beta$ particles. Its mean lives for $\alpha$ and $\beta$ decay are $1620$ years and $405$ years,respectively. After how many years will the activity be reduced to $1/4$ of its initial value?

The counting rate observed from a radioactive source at $t=0$ second was $1600$ counts per second and at $t=8$ seconds it was $100$ counts per second. The counting rate observed,as counts per second at $t=6$ seconds,will be

$A$ radioactive element which can decay by two processes has half-life $t_1$ for the first process and half-life $t_2$ for the second process. Let $\langle t \rangle$ be the effective average-life of this element. Which of the following is correct?

$A$ freshly prepared sample of a radioisotope of half-life $1386 \ s$ has activity $10^3$ disintegrations per second. Given that $\ln 2 = 0.693$,the fraction of the initial number of nuclei (expressed in nearest integer percentage) that will decay in the first $80 \ s$ after preparation of the sample is:

The half-life of $^{238}_{92}U$ undergoing $\alpha$-decay is $4.5 \times 10^{9} \text{ years}$. What is the activity of a $1 \text{ g}$ sample of $^{238}_{92}U$?
