Question
If 20 gm of a radioactive substance due to radioactive decay reduces to 10 gm in  4 minutes, then in what time 80 gm of the same substance will reduce to 10 gm
Options:
A .  In 8 minutes
B .  In 12 minutes  
C .  In 16 minutes
D .  In 20 minutes
Answer: Option B
:
B
substance reduces to 10 gm (i.e. becomes half in 4 min). So T12=4min. Again M=M0(12)t/T1/2
10=80(12)t418=(12)3(12)t4t=12min.
