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?

An alloy is composed of two radioactive materials $A$ and $B$ having equal weight. The half-lives of $A$ and $B$ are $10 \ yrs$ and $20 \ yrs$ respectively. After time $t$, the alloy was found to consist of $(1/e) \ kg$ of $A$ and $1 \ kg$ of $B$. If the atomic weights of $A$ and $B$ are the same, then the value of $t$ is (Assume $\ln 2 = 0.7$):
