Assertion : If the half life of a radioactive substance is $40\, days$ then $25\%$ substance decay in $20\, days$

Reason : $N = {N_0}\,{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^n}$

where, $n = \frac{{{\rm{time\, elapsed}}}}{{{\rm{half \,life \,period}}}}$

There are two radionuclei $A$ and $B.$ $A$ is an alpha emitter and $B$ is a beta emitter. Their distintegration constants are in the ratio of $1 : 2.$ What should be the ratio of number of atoms of two at time $t = 0$ so that probabilities of getting $\alpha$ and $\beta$ particles are same at time $t = 0.$
