    Half-life of radium is 1600 yr, then its 1/16th part will remain undecayed after

    A)  1200 yr                

    B)  6400 yr

    C)  1800 yr                

    D)  2200 yr

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Remaining quantity \[N={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\frac{{{N}_{0}}}{16}={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[n=4\]                                 \[\frac{t}{{{t}_{1/2}}}=4\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[t=4{{t}_{1/2}}=4\times 1600\] \[=6400yr\]
