Q. The activity of two radioactive nuclei Q and R is plotted on a semi-log graph. The half-life and decay constant of Q and R are (

τ_{Q}, λ_{Q}

τ_{R}, λ_{R}

) respectively. The plot implies that (the symbol "

\approx

" means "approximately equal to")

Q. A radioactive sample has

8.0 \times 10^{18}

active nuclei at a certain instant. How many of these nuclei will still be in the active state after two half-lives (in
