2. 300

3. 200

4. 150

The numbers of nuclei of a radioactive substance at time t = 0 are 1000 and 900 at time t = 2 sec. Then the number of nuclei at time t = 4 sec will be:

A nucleus ${}_Z{}^{A}X$ has mass represented by m(A, Z). If $m_p$ and $m_n$ denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and BE is the binding energy (in MeV), then:
[2007]

1. BE = [m(A, Z) - Z$m_p$- (A - Z)$m_n$] $c^2$

2. BE = [Z$m_p$+ (A - Z)$m_n$- m(A,Z)] $c^2$

3. BE = [Z$m_p$+ A$m_n$- m(A, Z)] $c^2$

4. BE = m(A, Z) - Z$m_p$- (A, Z)$m_n$

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

Radioactive ${}_{27}{}^{60}Co$ is transformed into stable ${}_{28}{}^{60}Ni$ by emitting two $\gamma$-rays of energies
