According to Nuclear activity, we can write

$N_0\stackrel{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\to }\frac{N_0}{2}\stackrel{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\to }\frac{N_0}{4}\stackrel{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\to }\frac{N_0}{8}\stackrel{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\to }\frac{N_0}{16}=\left(0.0625\right)N_0$  

Time required = 4 ×  $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=20yrs$

From Radioactive Decay Law,
dN/dt = λ? N + λ? N = λ_eff N
⇒ λ_eff = λ? + λ? ⇒ ln (2)/T = ln (2)/T? + ln (2)/T? ⇒ T = (T? ) / (T? + T? )
(where T, T? , and T? are half-lives)

The law of radioactive decay is N = N? e? λt, where N is the amount remaining at time t.
Given that at time t, N/N? = 9/16.
So, 9/16 = e? λt
At time t/2, the fraction remaining will be N'/N?
N' = N? e? λ ( t/2 ) = N? (e? λt)¹/²
Substituting the value of e? λt:
N' = N? (9/16)¹/² = N? (3/4)
The fraction re
