The half-lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $3 \ min$ and $27 \ min$ respectively. If they have the same activity at a certain instant,find the ratio of the number of excited nuclei of $X$ and $Y$ at that instant.

The activity of a radioactive sample is measured as $N_0$ counts per minute at time $t = 0$ and $N_0/e$ counts per minute at time $t = 3 \text{ minute}$. The time (in minute) in which the activity reduces to half the value, is

$A$ radioactive element has a rate of disintegration of $16,000 \text{ disintegrations per minute}$ at a particular instant. After $4 \text{ minutes}$, it becomes $2000 \text{ disintegrations per minute}$. The decay constant per minute is:

At time $t=0$, a material is composed of two radioactive atoms $A$ and $B$, where $N_{A}(0)=2 N_{B}(0)$. The decay constant of both kinds of radioactive atoms is $\lambda$. However, $A$ disintegrates to $B$ and $B$ disintegrates to $C$. Which of the following figures represents the evolution of $N_{B}(t) / N_{B}(0)$ with respect to time $t$?
$N_{A}(0) = \text{Number of } A \text{ atoms at } t=0$
$N_{B}(0) = \text{Number of } B \text{ atoms at } t=0$

In the figure,$X$ represents time and $Y$ represents the activity of a radioactive sample. Then the activity of the sample varies with time according to the curve:
