$A$ parent nucleus $X$ decays into a daughter nucleus $Y$,which in turn decays into $Z$. The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \, yr$ and $20 \, yr$,respectively. In a certain sample,it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$,the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is
