    A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially there is 50 kg of the material present and after two hours it is observed that the material has lost 10% of its original mass, find () and expression for the mass of the material remaining at any time t, (ii) the mass of the material after four hours and (iii) the time at which the material has decayed to one half of its initial mass.

    A sample of radioactive material decays simultaneously by two processes A and B with half-lives 1/2 and 1/4 hours respectively . For first half-hour, it decays with process A, next one hour with process B and for a further half and hour with both A and B. If originally there were N_0 nuclei, find the number of nuclei after 2 hours of such decay-
