Two radioactive elements $R$ and $S$ disintegrate as
$R \rightarrow P + \alpha; \lambda_R = 4.5 × 10^{-3} \,\, years^{-1}$
$S \rightarrow P + \beta; \lambda_S = 3 × 10^{-3} \,\, years^{-1}$
Starting with number of atoms of $R$ and $S$ in the ratio of $2 : 1,$ this ratio after the lapse of three half lives of $R$ will be :
