Which sample, $A$ or $B$ shown in figure has shorter mean-life?

Two radioactive nuclei $P$ and $Q,$ in a given sample decay into a stable nucleus $R.$ At time $t = 0,$ number of $P$ species are $4\,\, N_0$ and that of $Q$ are $N_0$. Half-life of $P$ (for conversion to $R$) is $1$ minute where as that of $Q$ is $2$ minutes. Initially there are no nuclei of $R$ present in the sample. When number of nuclei of $P$ and $Q$ are equal, the number of nuclei of $R$ present in the sample would be
