The half-life period of a radioactive element $x$ is the same as the mean life time of another radioactive element $y$. Initially,they have the same number of atoms. Then:

One mole of radium has an activity of $\frac{1}{3.7} \text{ kilo curie}$. Its decay constant is (Avogadro number $= 6 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}$)

$A$ radioactive sample consists of two distinct species having an equal number of atoms initially. The mean life time of one species is $\tau$ and that of the other is $5 \tau$. The decay products in both cases are stable. $A$ plot is made of the total number of radioactive nuclei as a function of time. Which of the following figures best represents the form of this plot?

$A$ heavy nucleus $Q$ of half-life $20 \text{ minutes}$ undergoes alpha-decay with a probability of $60 \%$ and beta-decay with a probability of $40 \%$. Initially,the number of $Q$ nuclei is $1000$. The number of alpha-decays of $Q$ in the first one hour is:

For a substance,the average life for $\alpha$-emission is $1620$ years and for $\beta$-emission is $405$ years. After how much time will $1/4$ of the material remain after both $\alpha$ and $\beta$ emissions?

$A$ radioactive element decays to form a stable nuclide. The rate of decay of the reactant $\left( \frac{dN}{dt} \right)$ will vary with time $(t)$ as shown in which figure?
