Samples of two radioactive nuclides A and B are taken. λ_Aand λ_B are the disintegration constants of A and B respectively. In which of the following cases, the two samples can simultaneously have the same decay rate at any time?
(a) Initial rate of decay of A is twice the initial rate of decay of B and λ_A = λ_B
(b) Initial rate of decay of A is twice the initial rate of decay of B and λ_A > λ_B
(c) Initial rate of decay of B is twice the initial rate of decay of A and  λ_A > λ_B
(d) Initial rate of decay of B is same as the rate of decay of A at t = 2h and  λ_A < λ_B

$r=R_0{\left(192\right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{r}{2}=R_0{\left(m\right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$m=\frac{192}{8}=24$

Q = [4 *4.0026 – 15.9994] *931.5 MeV

Q = 10.2 MeV

$A=A_0{e}^{-\lambda t_1}$     [Radio active decay law]

$\frac{A}{5}=A_0{e}^{-\lambda \left(t_2-t_1\right)}$

$\Rightarrow Averagelife=\frac{1}{\lambda }=\frac{\left(t_2-t_1\right)}{\mathcal{l}n5}$  

$forA,t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4sec$  

$=m{A}_0{e}^{-}\frac{0.693}{4}\times 16$

$m_A=m_{A0}{e}^{-4\times 0.693}$    -(1)

for B,

for B,  $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=8sec$  

$m_B=m_{B_0}{e}^{-2\times 0.693}$               -(2)

$\frac{m_A}{m_B}=\frac{m_{AO}}{m_{BO}}\frac{e^{-4}\times 0.693}{e^{-2}\times 0.693}$

$\frac{m_A}{m_B}=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{x}{100}x=25$

The reaction is X²? → Y¹²? + Z¹²?
Binding energies per nucleon are: X=7.6 MeV, Y=8.5 MeV, Z=8.5 MeV.
Gain in binding energy (Q) = (Binding energy of products) - (Binding energy of reactants)
Q = (120 × 8.5 + 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV
Q = (2 × 120 × 8.5) - (240 × 7.6) MeV = 2040 - 1824 = 216 MeV.
