The half-life of radioactive $Po$ (Polonium) is $138.6 \, \text{days}$. For $1,000,000$ Polonium atoms, the number of disintegrations in $24 \, \text{hours}$ is:

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 $n = \frac{\text{time elapsed}}{\text{half-life period}}$.

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?
