In a radioactive sample, ${ }_{10}^a K$ nuclei either decay into stable ${ }_{20}^{* 0} Ca$ nuclei with decay constant $4.5 \times 10^{-10}$ per year or into stable ${ }_{18}^{40}$ Ar muclei with decay constant $0.5 \times 10^{-10}$ per year. Given that in this sample all the stable ${ }_{20}^{\infty 0} Ca$ and ${ }_{15}^{20} Ar$ nuclei are produced by the ${ }_{19}^{* 0} K$ muclei only. In time $t \times 10^{\circ}$ years, if the ratio of the sum of stable ${ }_{30}^{40} Ca$ and ${ }_{15} \operatorname{An}$ nuclei to the radioactive ${ }_{19} K$ muclei is $99$ , the ralue of $t$ will be : [Given $\ln 10=2.3]$
