A radioactive sample has ${N_0}$ active atoms at $t = 0$. If the rate of disintegration at any time is $R$ and the number of atoms is $N$, then the ratio $ R/N$ varies with time as

Radioactive nuclei $P$ and $Q$ disintegrate into $R$ with half lives 1 month and 2 months respectively. At time $t=$ 0 , number of nuclei of each $P$ and $Q$ is $x$. Time at which rate of disintegration of $P$ and $Q$ are equal, number of nuclei of $R$ is ........ $x$

Consider a radioactive nucleus $A$ which decays to a stable nucleus $C$ through the following sequence : $A \to B \to C$ Here $B$ is an intermediate nuclei which is also radioactive. Considering that there are $N_0$, atoms of $A$ initially, plot the graph showing the variation of number of atoms of $A$ and $B$ versus time. 

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
