The half-life of a sample of a radioactive substance is $1$ hour. If $8 \times {10^{10}}$ atoms are present at $t = 0$, then the number of atoms decayed in the duration $t = 2$ hour to $t = 4$ hour will be

Consider two nuclei of the same radioactive nuclide. One of the nuclei was created in a supernova explosion $5$ billion years ago. The other was created in a nuclear reactor $5$ minutes ago. The probability of decay during the next time is

Radioacitive nuclei $A$ and $B$ disintegrate into $C$ with half lives $T$ and $2T$. At $t = 0$, pumber of nuclei of each $A$ and $B$ is $x$. The number of nuclei of $C$ when rate of disintegration of $A$ and $B$ are equal is
