    The ratio of molecular masses of two radioactive substances is 3/2 and the ratio of their decay constants is 4/3. Then, the ratio of their initial activities per mole will be

    A)  2

    B)  4/3

    C)  8/9

    D)  9/8

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Activity, \[A=\frac{-dN}{dt}=\lambda N\] As the number of nucleic (N) per mole are equal tor both the substances, irrespective of their molecular mass therefore, \[\frac{{{A}_{1}}}{{{A}_{2}}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{4}{3}\]
