    If a sample of 16 g radioactive substance disintegrate to 1 g in 120 days, then what will be the half-life of the sample?

    A)  15 days                               

    B)         7.5 days

    C)         30 days                               

    D)         60 days

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Ratio of left mass to original\[=\frac{1}{16}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}\] i.e., \[16\,\,g\] of substance has reduced to \[1\,\,g\] after 4 half-lives. \[\therefore \]half-life of substance\[=\frac{120}{4}=30\]days
