Questions  

Two radio active nuclei x and y initially contain an equal no.of atoms.  Their half life are 1 hr, 2 hrs.  The ratio of their rates of disintegration after  2 hrs from the start is

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

detailed solution

Correct option is B

activity is N λ =dNdt  after 2 hours x becomes N4 and Y becomes N2  as λ is inversely proportional to T12 there activity are in the ratio, (N4)11 and N212
