A nucleus has mass represented by m(A, Z). If and denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and BE is the binding energy (in MeV), then:
1. BE = [m(A, Z) - Z- (A - Z)]
2. BE = [Z+ (A - Z)- m(A,Z)]
3. BE = [Z+ A- m(A, Z)]
4. BE = m(A, Z) - Z- (A, Z)
Half-lives of two radioactive substances A and B respectively are 20 min and 40 min. Initially, the samples of A and B have an equal number of nuclei. After 80 min the ratio of the remaining number of A and B nuclei is:
1. 1 : 16
2. 4 : 1
3. 1 : 4
4. 1 : 1
