If a radioactive sample initially contains 8.00 ×1014 parent nuclei with a half life of 7.00 hr’s , how many parent nuclei remain in 24.0 hr’s later ?

a
5.42×1012
b
7.43×1013
c
6.00×1013
d
4.00×1014

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Decay Law ,  N=No12t/T⇒N=8.00×1014×1224/7⇒N=8.00×1014×12.3.42⇒N=8.00×1014×110.76⇒N=7.43×1013
