Two radioactive materials $X_1$ and $X_2$ contain same number of nuclei. If $6\,\lambda {s^{ - 1}}$ and $4\,\lambda {s^{ - 1}}$ are the decay constants of $X_1$ and $X_2$ respectively the ratio of number of nuclei, undecayed of $X_1$ to that of $X_2$ will be $\left( {\frac{1}{e}} \right)$ after a time

A sample of radioactive material $A$, that has an activity of $10\, mCi\, (1\, Ci = 3.7 \times 10^{10}\, decays/s)$, has twice the number of nuclei as another sample of different radioactive material $B$ which has an activity of $20\, mCi$. The correct choices for half-lives of $A$ and $B$ would then be respectively
