A radioactive sample has half-life of `5` years. Probability of decay in `10` years will be.A. 1B. 0.75C. 0.5D. 0.25

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) Number of half-lives `n = (10)/(5) = 2`,
Now `(N)/(N_0) = ((1)/(2))^2 = (1)/(4)`
Fraction decayed `=1 - (N)/(N_0) = 1-(1)/(4) = (3)/(4)`
` rArr` In percentage `= (3)/(4) xx 100 = 75 %`.
