    What amount of original radioactive material is left?

    A)  6.5%              

    B)  12.5%

    C)  25.5%            

    D)  33.3% 

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Amount of radioactive material left is \[N={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] where \[n=\]number of half lives. \[=3\] \[{{N}_{0}}=\]original amount of the radioactive material. \[\Rightarrow \] \[N={{N}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{{{N}_{0}}}{8}\] \[=\frac{100}{8}%\]of\[{{N}_{0}}=125%\]of\[{{N}_{0}}\]
