Two radioactive materials $X_1$ and $X_2$ have decay constants $10 \lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of nuclei of $X_1$ to that of $X_2$ will be $1 / e$ after a time:

The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The law of radioactive decay states that the number of nuclei undergoing the decay per unit time is directly proportional to the total number of nuclei in the sample.
Statement $II$: The half-life of a radionuclide is the time required for the number of radioactive nuclei to reduce to half of its initial value at time $t = 0$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
