$A$ radioactive nucleus $A$ has a single decay mode with half-life $\tau_A$. Another radioactive nucleus $B$ has two decay modes $1$ and $2$. If decay mode $2$ were absent,the half-life of $B$ would have been $\tau_A / 2$. If decay mode $1$ were absent,the half-life of $B$ would have been $3 \tau_A$. If the actual half-life of $B$ is $\tau_B$,then the ratio $\tau_B / \tau_A$ is

The nuclide $^{133}I$ is radioactive,with a half-life of $8.04 \, days$. At noon on $January \, 1$,the activity of a certain sample is $600 \, Bq$. The activity at noon on $January \, 24$ will be

$A$ and $B$ are two radioactive elements. The mixture of these elements shows a total activity of $1200 \text{ disintegrations/minute}$. The half-life of $A$ is $1 \text{ day}$ and that of $B$ is $2 \text{ days}$. What will be the total activity after $4 \text{ days}$? Given,the initial number of atoms in $A$ and $B$ are equal.

Two radioactive materials $X_1$ and $X_2$ have decay constants $10 \lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of nuclei of $X_1$ to that of $X_2$ will be $1 / e$ after a time:

$A$ radioactive sample decays at a rate of $5000$ disintegrations/minute at a certain instant. After $5$ minutes, the rate becomes $1250$ disintegrations/minute. The decay constant is ....... (in $\ln 2$)
