Two radioactive nuclei $A$ and $B$ both convert into a stable nucleus $C$. At time $t = 0$,the number of nuclei of $A$ is $4N_0$ and that of $B$ is $N_0$. The half-life of $A$ is $1 \, min$ and that of $B$ is $2 \, min$. Initially,the number of nuclei of $C$ is zero. At what time are the rates of disintegration of $A$ and $B$ equal?

Half-lives of two radioactive elements $A$ and $B$ are $30 \text{ minute}$ and $60 \text{ minute}$ respectively. Initially,the samples have an equal number of nuclei. After $120 \text{ minute}$,the ratio of the number of decayed nuclei of $B$ to that of $A$ will be:
