Two radioactive nuclei $P$ and $Q$ in a given sample decay into a stable nucleus $R.$ At time $t = 0,$ the number of $P$ species is $4N_0$ and that of $Q$ is $N_0.$ The half-life of $P$ is $1 \text{ minute},$ while that of $Q$ is $2 \text{ minutes}.$ Initially,there are no nuclei of $R$ present in the sample. When the number of nuclei of $P$ and $Q$ are equal,the number of nuclei of $R$ present in the sample would be

In a nuclear reactor,the activity of a radioactive substance is $2000 / s$. If the mean life of the products is $50 \text{ minutes}$,then in the steady power generation,the number of radionuclides is:

An alloy is composed of two radioactive materials $A$ and $B$ having equal weight. The half-lives of $A$ and $B$ are $10 \ yrs$ and $20 \ yrs$ respectively. After time $t$, the alloy was found to consist of $(1/e) \ kg$ of $A$ and $1 \ kg$ of $B$. If the atomic weights of $A$ and $B$ are the same, then the value of $t$ is (Assume $\ln 2 = 0.7$):

If ${N_0}$ is the original mass of the substance of half-life period ${T_{1/2}} = 5 \text{ years}$,then the amount of substance left after $15 \text{ years}$ is
