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 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 $e^2=7.5$].
