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
