    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Remaining quantity \[N={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{t/{{t}_{1/2}}}}\] \[{{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{90/30}}\] \[N=\frac{{{N}_{0}}}{8}\] Decayed amount \[={{N}_{0}}\frac{{{N}_{0}}}{8}\] \[=\frac{7{{N}_{0}}}{8}=\frac{7}{8}\times \]100=87.5%
