$A$ piece of wood from the ruins of an ancient building was found to have a $^{14}C$ activity of $12$ disintegrations per minute per gram of its carbon content. The $^{14}C$ activity of the living wood is $16$ disintegrations per minute per gram. How long ago did the tree,from which the wooden sample came,die? Given half-life of $^{14}C$ is $5760$ years.

There are two radionuclei $A$ and $B.$ $A$ is an alpha emitter and $B$ is a beta emitter. Their disintegration constants are in the ratio of $1 : 2.$ What should be the ratio of the number of atoms of the two at time $t = 0$ so that the probabilities of getting $\alpha$ and $\beta$ particles are the same at time $t = 0$?
