A radioactive nucleus (initial mass number $A$ and atomic number $Z$ emits $3 \alpha$. - particles and $2$ positrons. The ratio of number of neutrons to that of protons in the final nucleus will be

Starting with a sample of pure $^{66}Cu,\,\frac{7}{8}$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15\, min$. The corresponding half-life is .......... $min$

The decay constant of a radio active substance is $0.173\, (years)^{-1}.$ Therefore :

A radio isotope $X$ with a half-life $1.4 \times 10^{9}\; years$ decays of $Y$ which is stable. A sample of the rock from a cave was found to contain $X$ and $Y$ in the ratio $1: 7$. The age of the rock is ........ $ \times 10^9\; years$

At a given instant, say $t = 0,$ two radioactive substances $A$ and $B$ have equal activates. The ratio $\frac{{{R_B}}}{{{R_A}}}$ of their activities. The ratio $\frac{{{R_B}}}{{{R_A}}}$ of their activates after time $t$ itself decays with time $t$ as $e^{-3t}.$ If the half-life of $A$ is $ln2,$ the half-life of $B$ is

If the mass of a radioactive sample is doubled, the activity of the sample and the disintegration constant of the sample are respectively
