Questions  

Activities of three radioactive substances A,B and C are represented by the curves  A,B and C in the figure . Then their half lives T12A:T12B:T12C are in the ratio :

a
2 : 1  : 3
b
4 : 3  : 1
c
3 : 2  : 1
d
2 : 1  : 1

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Activity, R=R02-tth ⇒lnR=lnR0 -ln2thtComparing with straight line, y=c+mx , slope=m=-ln2thmA=6/10  from slopemB=6/5mC=2/5Since, slope ∝1half life⇒TA:TB:TC=106:56:52 = 20:10:30=2:1:3
