$A$ and $B$ are two radioactive elements. The mixture of these elements shows a total activity of $1200 \text{ disintegrations/minute}$. The half-life of $A$ is $1 \text{ day}$ and that of $B$ is $2 \text{ days}$. What will be the total activity after $4 \text{ days}$? Given,the initial number of atoms in $A$ and $B$ are equal.

The half-life of ${}^{198} {Au}$ is $3 \, \text{days}$. If the atomic weight of ${}^{198} {Au}$ is $198 \, \text{g/mol}$, then the activity of $2 \, \text{mg}$ of ${}^{198} {Au}$ is ..... $\times 10^{12} \, \text{disintegration/second}$.
