A radioactive sample has ${N_0}$ active atoms at $t = 0$. If the rate of disintegration at any time is $R$ and the number of atoms is $N$, then the ratio $ R/N$ varies with time as
A

B

C

D

Solution
(d) Rate $R = – \frac{{dN}}{{dt}}$ $ = \lambda \;{N_0}{e^{ – \lambda t}} = \lambda N$
==> $\frac{R}{N}$= $\lambda$ (constant)
$i.e.$ graph between $\frac{R}{N}$ and $t$, be a straight line parallel to the time axis.
