    B)  10

    C)  20                              

    D)  15

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Number of nuclei remaining \[=600450=150\] \[\frac{\text{N}}{{{\text{N}}_{\text{0}}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\frac{150}{600}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{\frac{t}{{{t}_{1/2}}}}}\] \[{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{\frac{t}{{{t}_{1/2}}}}}\] \[t=2{{t}_{1/2}}=2\times 10\]                                 =20 minute
