    If a sample of 16g radioactive substance disintegrate to 1g in 120 days, then what will be the half life of the sample?

    A)  15 days          

    B)  60days

    C)  30 days          

    D)  25 days

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here ratio of left mass to original \[=\frac{1}{10}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}\] i.e. 16g of substance has reduced to 1g after 4 half-life. \[n=4\] But          \[n=\frac{t}{{{T}_{1/2}}}\]  \[\Rightarrow \]  \[4=\frac{120}{{{T}_{1/2}}}\] \[\therefore \]  half life of substance \[{{T}_{1/2}}=\frac{120}{4}=30\] days.
