QUESTION STATEMENT:द्विभाषी / Bilingual
एक रेडियोएक्टिव पदार्थ की अर्द्ध-आयु चार महीने है। इस पदार्थ के तीन-चौथाई का क्षय होने में समय लगेगा-
The half-life of a radioactive substance is 4 months. The time required for three-fourths of this substance to decay will be:
SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
3 महीने
3 months
B
4 महीने
4 months
C
8 महीने
8 months
Correct
D
12 महीने
12 months
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(8 महीने)
तीन-चौथाई (3/4) क्षय होने पर शेष अविघटित मात्रा $= 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 = (1/2)^2$ होगी। अतः अर्द्ध-आयुओं की संख्या $n = 2$।
कुल समय $= n \times t_{1/2} = 2 \times 4 = 8\text{ महीने}$।
When 3/4 of the material decays, 1/4 remains, which corresponds to $(1/2)^2$, meaning 2 half-lives have elapsed. Total time $= 2 \times 4\text{ months} = 8\text{ months}$.
