    During mean life of a radioactive element, the fraction that disintegrates is

    A)  e

    B)  \[\frac{1}{e}\]

    C)  \[\frac{e-1}{e}\]

    D) \[\frac{e}{e-1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     By using \[N={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{-\lambda t}}\]and average life time \[t=\frac{1}{\lambda }\] So \[N={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{-\lambda \times 1/\lambda }}={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{-1}}\Rightarrow \frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}={{e}^{-1}}\frac{1}{e}\] Now disintegrated fraction \[=1-\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}=1-\frac{1}{e}=\frac{e-1}{e}\]
