Radon $({R_n})$ decays into Polonium (${P_0}$) by emitting an $\alpha - $ particle with half-life of $4\, days$. A sample contains $6.4 \times {10^{10}}$ atoms of $R_n$. After $12\, days$, the number of atoms of ${R_n}$ left in the sample will be

  • A

    $3.2 \times {10^{10}}$

  • B

    $0.53 \times {10^{10}}$

  • C

    $2.1 \times {10^{10}}$

  • D

    $0.8 \times {10^{10}}$
