The count rate from 100cm^(3) of a radioactive liquid is c. Some of this liquid is now discarded. The count rate of the remaining liquid is found to be c//10 after three half-lives. The volume of the remaining liquid, in cm^(3), is

Answer»

20
40
60
80

Solution :INITIAL COUNT rate (CR) for `1 cm^3` of liquid =c/100
After 3 half-lives , CR for `1 cm^3` of liquid =`1/8xxc/100`
Let the VOLUME of the remaining liquid=`V cm^3`
`therefore` CR of this liquid , `Vxxc/800 =c/10`. Or V=80.
