    The ratio of half-life times of two elements A and B is \[\frac{{{T}_{A}}}{{{T}_{B}}}\] The ratio of respective decay constants \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{A}}}{{{\lambda }_{B}}}\] is

    A)  \[\frac{{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{{{T}_{A}}}{{{T}_{B}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{T}_{A}}+{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{{{T}_{A}}-{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Half-life of a radioactive element \[T=\frac{0.693}{\lambda }\] or \[T\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{A}}}{{{\lambda }_{B}}}=\frac{{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}}\]
