`4` grams of radioactive substance `A` left `1//2 gm` after some ture. `1` gran of another radioactive substance `B` left `1//4 gm` in the same period, If half life of `B` is `2` hours, the half life of `A` is ( in hours)

A

`3//4`

B

`4//3`

C

`1//4`

D

`1//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`W=(W_(0))/(2^(n))`, no of half lives `n=(t)/(t_(1//2))`
