`Na""^(22)` has half life of 2.68 years. It decays both by positron emission and electron capture with a ratio of 86% of the former to 14% of the later. The half life for positron emission in years (nearly) is

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`lamda""_(1)/lamda""_(2)=14/86,(lamda=2.303/tlog"N""_(0)/N),`
`lamda=lamda""_(1)+lamda""_(2)`
`0.693/2.68=(lamda""_(2)xx14)/86+lamda""_(2)02`
`0.258=lamda""_(2)(14/86+1)`
`0.258=lamda""_(2)(100/86)`
lamda""_(2)=(86xx0.258)/(100),t""_(1//2)=0.693/lamda""_(2)`
