    The half-life of a radioactive element which has only \[\frac{1}{32}\] of its original mass left after a lapse of 60 days is [MP PET 1992; DPMT 2002]

    A)            12 days                                   

    B)            32 days

    C)            60 days                                   

    D)            64 days

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{{{N}_{0}}}{32}={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{60/T}}\Rightarrow 5=\frac{60}{T}\Rightarrow T=12\]days
