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:

The activity of a radioactive sample is measured as $N_0$ counts per minute at $t = 0$ and $N_0/e$ counts per minute at $t = 5 \, minutes$. The time (in $minutes$) at which the activity reduces to half its value is

$A$ radioactive element has a half-life period of $800$ years. After $6400$ years,what fraction of the initial amount will remain?

$A$ radioactive nucleus can decay in two different processes with half-lives of $0.7 \ hr$ and $0.3 \ hr$. The effective average life of the nucleus in minutes is approximately (value of $\ln 2 = 0.7$):

The half-life of a particle of mass $1.6 \times 10^{-26} \,kg$ is $6.9 \,s$. $A$ stream of such particles is travelling with a kinetic energy of $0.05 \,eV$ per particle. The fraction of particles that will decay when they travel a distance of $1 \,m$ is
