The count rate of `10 g` of radioactive material was measured at different times and times has been shown in the figure. The half-life of material and the total counts (approximately) in the first half life period, respectively are. .A. `4h, 9000`B. `3h, 14000`C. `3h,235`D. `3h, 50`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) Read time for `50` count rate, it gives half-life period of `3 hrs`, one small square gives `600` counts `(10 xx 60)`. The number of small squares between graph and time axis are approximately `24`
Hence count rate `= 24 xx 600 = 14400`.
