A mixture consists of two radioactive materials A1 and A2 with half-lives of 20 s and 10 s respectively. Initially, the mixture has 40 g of A1 and 160 g of A2. The amount of the two in the mixture will become equal after

  • 60 s

  • 80 s

  • 20 s

  • 40 s

Solution

D.

40 s

For 40 g amount
4 space straight g space rightwards arrow from half space minus life to 20 space straight s of 20 space straight g space rightwards arrow with 20 space straight s on top space 10 space straight g
For space 160 space straight g space amount
160 space straight g space rightwards arrow with 10 space straight s on top space 80 space straight g space stack space rightwards arrow with 10 space straight s on top space 40 space straight g rightwards arrow with 10 space straight s on top space 20 space straight g space rightwards arrow with 10 space straight s on top space 10 space straight g
So, after 40 A1 and A2 remains same.
