    The half-life period of radium is 1580 years. It remains 1/16 after the years:

    A)  1580 years                         

    B)  3160 years

    C)  4740 years         

    D)         6320 years

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We know that\[N={{N}_{0}}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] Here,\[N=\frac{1}{16},\,\,{{N}_{0}}=1\], by putting die values \[\frac{1}{16}=1\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\]                                \[\therefore \,\,n=4\] We know that\[T={{t}_{1/2}}\times n\]                 \[T=1580\times 4=6320\,\,years\]
