The half-life of a radioactive nucleus is 50 days. The time interval $({\mathrm{t}}_2-{\mathrm{t}}_1)$ between the time ${\mathrm{t}}_2$ when $\frac{2}{3}$ of it has decayed and the time ${\mathrm{t}}_1$ when $\frac{1}{3}$ of it had decayed is:

1. 30 days

2. 50 days

3. 60 days

4. 15 days

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 $4N_0$ and that of Q is $N_0.$Half-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. $3N_0$                                         

2. $\frac{9N_0}{2}$

3. $\frac{5N_0}{2}$                                       

4. $2N_0$

The activity of a radioactive sample is measured as $N_0$ counts per minute at t=0 and $N_0/e$ counts per minute at t=5 min.The time (in minute) at which the activity reduces to half its value is 

(1) ${\log }_{e}2/5$                                                         

(2) $\frac{5}{{\log }_e 2}$

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 $({\mathrm{t}}_1-{\mathrm{t}}_2)\; is:$

1. ${\mathrm{A}}_1{\mathrm{t}}_1-{\mathrm{A}}_2{\mathrm{t}}_2$                                       

2. ${\mathrm{A}}_1-{\mathrm{A}}_2$

4. $\mathrm{\lambda }({\mathrm{A}}_1-{\mathrm{A}}_2)$ 

Two nuclei have their mass numbers in the ratio of 1:3. The ratio of their nuclear densities would be
