$A$ radioactive substance of mass $10 \, g$ is kept in an open container. What is the approximate mass of the substance remaining in the container after two mean lives (in $, g$)?

The decay constant $\lambda$ of a radioactive sample is the probability of decay of an atom in unit time. Then,

At any instant,two elements $X_1$ and $X_2$ have the same number of radioactive atoms. If the decay constants of $X_1$ and $X_2$ are $10\lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively,then the time when the ratio of their atoms becomes $\frac{1}{e}$ will be:

Two radioactive nuclei $A$ and $B$ both convert into a stable nucleus $C$. At time $t = 0$,the number of nuclei of $A$ is $4N_0$ and that of $B$ is $N_0$. The half-life of $A$ is $1 \, min$ and that of $B$ is $2 \, min$. Initially,the number of nuclei of $C$ is zero. At what time are the rates of disintegration of $A$ and $B$ equal?

The relation between $\lambda$ and $T_{1/2}$ is ($T_{1/2} = \text{half-life}$,$\lambda = \text{decay constant}$)
