Detailed Solution

Here T = 26.8 minutes

= 26.8 x 60 sec

  Decay constant,

λ=0.693T=0.69326.8 x 60 =4.32 x 104sec-1

Now 1 curie is equal to 3.71 x 1010 disintegrations per second.

λ=3.71 x 1010

If N be the number of atoms in one curie, then 

-dNdt=λN

or 3.71 x 1010=4.31 x 10-4 N

N=3.71 x 10104.31 x 10-4=8.607 x 1013

Further, atomic weight of RaB = 214 and Avogadro's number = 6.025 x 1023

Mass of one atom =2146.025 x 1023

Mass of N atoms 

=2146.025 x 1023 x 8.607 x 1013 =3.064 x 10-8g
