At time $t=0$ some radioactive gas is injected into a sealed vessel. At time $T$ some more of the gas is injected into the vessel. Which one of the following graphs best represents the logarithm of the activity $A$ of the gas with time $t$ ?
A

B

C

D

Solution
(c)
$A=A_0 e^{-\lambda t}$
$\ln A=\ln A_0-\lambda t$
$\therefore$ Answer is $(c)$ as it is a linear relation between $\ln A$ and $t$.
