A radioactive sample with a half life of $1$ month has the label : “Activity$=2\, micro\,\,curies$ on $1-8-1991$.'' What will be its activity two months earlier ............ $micro\,\, curies$.
A
$1$
B
$8$
C
$4$
D
$0.5$
(AIPMT-1988)
Solution
In two half lives, the activity becomes one fourth
Activity on $1-8-91$ was $2$ micro curie $\therefore$ Activity before two months, $4 \times 2$ micro-Curie $=8$ micro curie
