The half-lives of radioactive sample are `30` years and `60` years for two decay processes. If the sample decays by both the processes simultaneously. The time after which, only one-fourth of the sample will remain isA. `10` yearsB. `20` yearC. `40` yearD. `60` year

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`lambda=lambda_(a)+lambda_(2)or (1)/(t)-(1)/(t_(1))+(1)/(t_(2))`, where t is `T_(1//2)`
`T_(1//2)=20` years
