What percentage of original radioactive atoms is left after five half-lives (in $\%$)?

The decay constants of a radioactive substance for $\alpha$ and $\beta$ emission are $\lambda_{\alpha}$ and $\lambda_{\beta}$ respectively. If the substance emits $\alpha$ and $\beta$ simultaneously,then the average half-life of the material will be:

$A$ fraction $f_1$ of a radioactive sample decays in one mean life,and a fraction $f_2$ decays in one half-life.

$A$ and $B$ are two radioactive elements. Their half-lives are $1 \, year$ and $2 \, years$ respectively. Initially,$10 \, g$ of $A$ and $1 \, g$ of $B$ are taken. After how many years will their remaining quantities be equal?

The graph in the figure shows how the count-rate $A$ of a radioactive source as measured by a Geiger counter varies with time $t$. The relationship between $A$ and $t$ is (Assume $\ln 12 = 2.6$):
