    A radioactive material has half-life of 10 days. What fraction of the material would remain after 30 days?

    A) 0.5           

    B)                       0.25                       

    C) 0.125                    

    D)       0.33

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    If N be the number of atoms of a radioactive substance left at some instant of time, than \[\Rightarrow \] where \[{{N}_{0}}\] is the initial number of atoms and n is number of half lives. \[\int\limits_{x=20}^{x=30}{(-0.1)x\,dx}\,={{K}_{f}}-500\]    \[\int{{{x}^{n}}dx}=\frac{{{x}^{n+1}}}{n+1},\] \[-0.1\left[ \frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2} \right]_{x=20}^{x=30}={{K}_{f}}-500\]   \[-0.1\left[ \frac{{{(30)}^{2}}}{2}-\frac{{{(20)}^{2}}}{2} \right]={{K}_{f}}-500\] \[\Rightarrow \]
