Half-life of a radioactive substance A is `4 days`. The probability that a nuclear will decay in two half-lives isA. `(1)/(4)`B. `(3)/(4)`C. `(1)/(2)`D. `1`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Number of nuclei left after `2` half lives `=(N_(0))/(4)`
probability of a nucleus decaying `=`no. of nuclei decayed `//`total no.
`=(3N_(0)//4)/(N_(0))=(3)/(4)`
