If $87.5 \%$ of atoms of a radioactive element decay in $6 \ days$, then the fraction of atoms of the element that decay in $8 \ days$ is

The mean lives of a radioactive sample are $30 \, years$ and $60 \, years$ for $\alpha$-emission and $\beta$-emission,respectively. If the sample decays by both $\alpha$-emission and $\beta$-emission simultaneously,then the time after which only one-fourth of the sample remains is approximately ............ $years$.

Two radioactive samples $A$ and $B$ have half-lives $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$ respectively. At $t=0$,the activity of $B$ was twice the activity of $A$. Their activity will become equal after a time:

$A$ mixture consists of two radioactive materials $A_1$ and $A_2$ with half-lives of $20 \, s$ and $10 \, s$ respectively. Initially,the mixture has $40 \, g$ of $A_1$ and $160 \, g$ of $A_2$. The amount of the two in the mixture will become equal after ......... $s$.

What can be determined from the radioactive decay curve?

At time $t=0$, a material is composed of two radioactive atoms $A$ and $B$, where $N_{A}(0)=2 N_{B}(0)$. The decay constant of both kinds of radioactive atoms is $\lambda$. However, $A$ disintegrates to $B$ and $B$ disintegrates to $C$. Which of the following figures represents the evolution of $N_{B}(t) / N_{B}(0)$ with respect to time $t$?
$N_{A}(0) = \text{Number of } A \text{ atoms at } t=0$
$N_{B}(0) = \text{Number of } B \text{ atoms at } t=0$
