Detailed Solution

Half life period of a radioisotopes, t1/2=20sec.

Total period of time for decaying radioisotope, t=2min=120sec

From first order kinetics equation, rate constant ‘k’ is 

k=0.693t1/2=0.69320sec=0.034sec1

Use the following formula to find amount of radioisotope left after time, ‘t’ is Nt=N0.ekt

Nt=0.2×e(0.034×120)

Nt=0.00312 g(or)3.12 mg.
