The half-life of radium is about $1600$ years. Of $100 \, g$ of radium existing now, $25 \, g$ will remain unchanged after .......... $years$.

${ }_{92}^{238} U$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. $A$ rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}$ of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$. If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ to ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ in three half-lives is $Z \times 10^{18}$,then what is the value of $Z$?

The $S.I.$ unit of radioactivity is

$A$ parent nucleus $X$ decays into a daughter nucleus $Y$,which in turn decays into $Z$. The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \, yr$ and $20 \, yr$,respectively. In a certain sample,it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$,the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is
