The natural logarithm of the activity $R$ of a radioactive sample varies with time $t$ as shown. At $t=0$,there are $N_0$ undecayed nuclei. Then,$N_0$ is equal to [Take $e^2=7.5$].

$A$ radioactive element $X$ converts into another stable element $Y$. The half-life of $X$ is $2 \text{ hours}$. Initially,only $X$ is present. After a time $t$,if the ratio of atoms of $X$ to $Y$ is $1:4$,then the value of $t$ is

The rate of disintegration of a radioactive sample is $R$ and the number of atoms present at any time $t$ is $N$. When $\frac{R}{N}$ is taken along the $Y$-axis and $t$ is taken along the $X$-axis,the correct graph is:

At time $t=0$ some radioactive gas is injected into a sealed vessel. At time $T$ some more of the gas is injected into the vessel. Which one of the following graphs best represents the logarithm of the activity $A$ of the gas with time $t$?
