(c) Number of half lives $n = \frac{{10}}{{2.5}} = 4$

==> $\frac{A}{{{A_0}}} = \frac{N}{{{N_0}}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} ight)^n} $

$\Rightarrow A = 1.6 	imes {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} ight)^4} = 0.1\;curie$

The activity of a radioactive sample is $1.6\, curie$ and its half-life is $2.5 \,days$. Its activity after $10\, days$ will be .......... $curie$
