Assertion : If the half-life of a radioactive substance is $40 \ days$,then $25\%$ of the substance decays in $20 \ days$.
Reason : $N = N_0 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n$,where $n = \frac{\text{time elapsed}}{\text{half-life period}}$.

If the half-life of a radioactive nucleus is $3$ days, nearly what fraction of the initial number of nuclei will decay on the third day? (Given, $\sqrt[3]{0.25} \approx 0.63$)

At time $t = 0$,the mass of a radioactive element sample is $10 \, g$. After a time interval equal to two mean lives,what mass of the sample will approximately remain in $g$?

The graph shows the $\log$ of activity $\log R$ of a radioactive material as a function of time $t$ in minutes. The half-life (in minutes) for the decay is closest to
