At any instant the ratio of the amount of radioactive substances is 2 : 1. If their half-lives be respectively 12 and 16 hours, then after two days, what will be the ratio of the substances?

a
1 : 1
b
2 : 1
c
1 : 2
d
1 : 4

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Number of half-lives in two days four substance 1 and 2 respectively are n1=2 x 2412=4 and n2=2 x 241.6=3By using N=N012n⇒N1N2=N01N02x12n112n2=21x124123=11
