Q137 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Physics

The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is 100 hours. The fraction of original activity that will remain after 150 hours would be :

  • A
    12
  • Correct answer
    B
    122
  • C
    23
  • D
    232

Solution

Given,

T12=100 hours 

t=150 hours

As we know that the number of nuclide remain after n half life is given by,

 N=N02n

∵100 hours =1 half life

150 hours =1100×150

=32 half life

So, Fraction remain after 32 half life

NN0=123/2=122

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
