The decay constant of a radio isotope is λ. If A1 and A2 are its activities at times t1 and t2 respectively, the number of nuclei which have decayed during the time (t1-t2) is:

1. A1t1-A2t2                                       

2. A1-A2

3. (A1-A2)λ                                         

4. λ(A1-A2)

Two radioactive nuclei P and Q, in a given sample decay into a stable nucleus R. At time t=0, the number of P species are 4N0 and that of Q is N0Half-life of P(for conversion to R) is 1 min whereas that of Q is 2 min. Initially there are no nuclei of R present in the sample. When number of nuclei of P and Q are equal, the number of nuclei of R present in the sample would be: 

1. 3N0                                         

2. 9N02

3. 5N02
