The half-life of a radioactive isotope X is 50 yr.

It decays to another element Y which is stable.

The two elements X and Y were found to be in 

the ratio of 1:15 in a sample of a given rock.

The age of rock was estimated to be

1. 200 yr

2. 250 yr

3. 100 yr

4. 150 yr

Fusion reaction takes place at a higher temperature because:

The decay constant of a radio isotope is $\mathrm{\lambda }.$ If ${\mathrm{A}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{A}}_2$ are its activities at times ${\mathrm{t}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{t}}_2$ respectively, the number of nuclei which have decayed during the time $({\mathrm{t}}_1-{\mathrm{t}}_2)$
