The mean lives of a radioactive substanc...

The mean lives of a radioactive substance are 1620 years and 405 years for `alpha` emission and `beta` emission respectively. Find out the time during which three fourth of a sample will decay if it is decaying both by `alpha`-emission and `beta`-emission simultaneously. `(log_e4=1.386).`
