Question:

Two radioactive elements $E_1$ and $E_2$ with their half lives $T_1$ and $T_2$ have undecayed atoms $n_1$ and $n_2$ respectively present at a given instant. What will be the ratio of their activities at this instant?

Options:

$n_2 T_1^2: n_1 T_2^2$

$n_1 T_1: n_2 T_2$

$n_1 T_2: n_2 T_1$

$n_2 T_2^2: n_1 T_1^2$

Correct Answer:

$n_1 T_2: n_2 T_1$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $n_1 T_2: n_2 T_1$
