The radioactivity of a sample at time $T_1$ is $R_1$ and at time $T_2$ is $R_2$. If the mean life of the sample is $T$,then the number of nuclei disintegrated in the time interval $(T_2 - T_1)$ is:

  • A
    $R_1T_1 - R_2T_2$
  • B
    $R_1 - R_2$
  • C
    $\frac{R_1 - R_2}{T}$
  • D
    $(R_1 - R_2)T$

${ }_{92}^{238} U$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. $A$ rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}$ of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$. If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ to ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ in three half-lives is $Z \times 10^{18}$,then what is the value of $Z$?
