The half-life of a radioactive substance is $40 \, years$. How long will it take to reduce to one-fourth of its original amount, and what is the value of the decay constant?

The plot of the number $(N)$ of undecayed atoms versus activity $(A)$ of a radioactive substance is

$A$ parent nucleus $X$ decays into a daughter nucleus $Y$,which in turn decays into $Z$. The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \, yr$ and $20 \, yr$,respectively. In a certain sample,it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$,the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is
