A radioactive nucleus X decays to nucleus Y whichfurther decays to a stable nucleus Z as given belowX overset(lamda_(x) = 0 , 1 sec^(-1))rarr Y overset(lamday=(1)/30sec^(-1))rarrZ (stable). Initially the sample contains nuclei of X only and its population is N_(0) = 10^(20) . Further the population of Y as function of time is given by N_(Y)(t) = (N_(0)lamdaX)/(lamda_(X) - lamda_(Y)) (e^(-lamda)y^(t) -e^(-lamda)x^(t)) (a) If N_(X),N_(Y) and N_(Z) represent population of X, Y and Z respectively at any instant of time t . Find (dN_Y)/(dt) (b) Find the time at which population of Y is maximum (c) Find the population of X at instant when N_Y is maximum
