$A$ sample of a radioactive element contains $8 \times 10^{16}$ active nuclei. The half-life of the element is $15 \text{ days}$. The number of nuclei decayed after $60 \text{ days}$ is:

  • A
    $7.5 \times 10^{16}$
  • B
    $2.0 \times 10^{16}$
  • C
    $0.5 \times 10^{16}$
  • D
    $4.0 \times 10^{16}$

At any instant,two elements $X_1$ and $X_2$ have the same number of radioactive atoms. If the decay constants of $X_1$ and $X_2$ are $10\lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively,then the time when the ratio of their atoms becomes $\frac{1}{e}$ will be:

Substance $A$ has an atomic mass number of $16$ and a half-life of $1$ day. Another substance $B$ has an atomic mass number of $32$ and a half-life of $0.5$ day. If both $A$ and $B$ start undergoing radioactivity simultaneously with an initial mass of $320 \, g$ each,how many total atoms of $A$ and $B$ combined would be left after $2$ days? (Answer in $......... \times 10^{24}$)

If $96.875 \%$ of a radioactive substance decays in $10 \text{ days}$, then the half life of the substance is (in days)
