The half-life period of a radioactive element $x$ is the same as the mean life time of another radioactive element $y$. Initially,they have the same number of atoms. Then:

$A$ radioactive sample consists of two distinct species having an equal number of $N_0$ atoms initially. The mean-life of one species is $\tau$ and of the other is $5\tau$. The decay products in both cases are stable. The total number of radioactive nuclei at $t = 5\tau$ is
