Half-life of a substance is $10$ years. In what time,it becomes $\frac{1}{4}$ of the initial amount?

The half-life of a radioactive substance is $20 \ min$. The approximate time interval $(t_{2}-t_{1})$ between the time $t_{2}$,when $2/3$ of it has decayed,and time $t_{1}$,when $1/3$ of it has decayed,is (in $min$):

The decay rate for a certain mass of a radioactive substance measured at different times varies with time as shown in the figure. The count rate at $t = 8 \, hr$ will be:

$A$ $280\, \text{day}$ old radioactive substance shows an activity of $6000\, \text{dps}$. $140\, \text{days}$ later, its activity becomes $3000\, \text{dps}$. What was its initial activity? ......... $\text{dps}$

$A$ sample of a radioactive element has a mass of $10 \, g$ at an instant $t = 0$. The approximate mass of this element in the sample after two mean lives is .......... $g$.

The disintegration rate of a certain radioactive sample at any instant is $4250$ disintegrations per minute. $10$ minutes later,the rate becomes $2250$ disintegrations per minute. The approximate decay constant is $......... \min^{-1}$.
