The power obtained in a reactor using \(\mathrm{U}^{235}\) ${\mathrm{}}^{}$disintegration is \(1000~\text{kW}\). The mass decay of \(\mathrm{U}^{235}\) ${\mathrm{}}^{}$per hour is approximately equal to:
1. \(20~\mu\text{g}\)
2. \(40~\mu\text{g}\)
3. \(1~\mu\text{g}\)
4. \(10~\mu\text{g}\)

The half-life of a radioactive element X is 50 yrs. 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 the rock was estimated to be:

1.  200 yr

2.  250 yr

3.  100 yr

4.  150 yr

A nucleus \({ }_{{n}}^{{m}} \mathrm{X}\) emits one $\mathrm{}$\(\alpha\text -\text{particle}\) and two \(\beta\text- \text{particle}\) The resulting nucleus is:

The mass of a ${}_3{}^7\mathrm{Li}$ nucleus is \(0.042~\text{u}\) less than the sum of the masses of all its nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of the ${}_3{}^7\mathrm{Li}$ nucleus is near:
1. \(4.6~\text{MeV}\)
2. \(5.6~\text{MeV}\)
3. \(3.9~\text{MeV}\)
4. \(23~\text{MeV}\)

The number of beta particles emitted by a radioactive substance is twice the number of alpha particles emitted by it. The resulting daughter is an:
1. Isobar of a parent.
2. Isomer of a parent.
3. Isotone of a parent.
4. Isotope of a parent.

The decay constants of two radioactive materials X₁ and X₂ are \(5\lambda\) and \(\lambda\) respectively. Initially, they have the same number of nuclei.  The ratio of the number of nuclei of X₁ to that of X₂  will be \(1/e\) after a time:
1. \(\lambda\)

2. \(\frac{1}{2\lambda }\)

3. \(\frac{1}{4\lambda }\)

4. \(\frac{e}{\lambda }\)

If \(M(A,~Z)\), \(M_p\)${}_{}$, and \(M_n\) denote the masses of the nucleus \(^{A}_{Z}X,\) proton, and neutron respectively in units of \(u\) \((1~u=931.5~\text{MeV/c}^2)\) and represent its binding energy \((BE)\) in \(\text{MeV}\). Then:

Two nuclei have their mass numbers in the ratio of \(1:3.\) The ratio of their nuclear densities would be:
1. \(1:3\)
2. \(3:1\)
3. \((3)^{1/3}:1\)
4. \(1:1\)
