A) 40 minutes
B) 20 minutes
C) 25 minutes
D) 30 minutes
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
From the relation \[N={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{23} \right)}^{t}}/{{T}_{1/2}}\] We have \[\frac{{{N}_{1}}}{{{N}_{0}}}=100-20=80%\] \[\frac{{{N}_{2}}}{{{N}_{0}}}=100-80=20%\] Therefore \[\frac{\frac{80}{100}}{\frac{20}{100}}=\frac{{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{{{t}_{1}}/20}}}{{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{{{t}_{2}}/20}}}\] So \[{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{\frac{({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})}{20}}}\] i.e., \[\Delta t=2\times 20=40\min utes\]
