Two different radioactive elements with half-lives $T_1$ and $T_2$ have undecayed atoms $N_1$ and $N_2$ respectively present at a given instant. The ratio of their activities at that instant is

  • A
    $\frac{N_1 T_1}{N_2 T_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{N_2 T_2}{N_1 T_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{N_1 T_2}{N_2 T_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{N_1 N_2}{T_1 T_2}$

The decay constant of a radioisotope is $\lambda$. If $A_1$ and $A_2$ are its activities at times $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively,what is the number of nuclei that have decayed during the time interval $(t_1 - t_2)$?

$A$ small quantity of solution containing $Na^{24}$ radionuclide of activity $1 \, \mu Ci$ is injected into the blood of a person. $A$ sample of the blood of volume $1 \, cm^3$ taken after $5 \, hours$ shows an activity of $298$ disintegrations per minute. What will be the total volume of the blood in the body of the person? Assume that the radioactive solution mixes uniformly in the blood of the person. (Take $1 \, Ci = 3.7 \times 10^{10}$ disintegrations per second and $e^{-\lambda t} = 0.7927$; where $\lambda$ is the disintegration constant and $t = 5 \, hours$.)
