Detailed Solution
Decay Law , N=Noe-λt Case 1 : 810=900 e-λ3 ⇒e-λ3 = 810900 Case 2 : N = 900 e-λ6 ⇒N = 900 ( e-λ3)2 ⇒N = 900 (810900)2 ⇒N = 900×81100=729 In first 3 sec, 10 percent of the nuclei are decayed from 900 and then in another 3 sec, 10 percent nuclei will be decayed from 810 and hence after 6 sec the number of nuclei present is 729.
