Two radioactive materials X(1) and X(2) ...

Two radioactive materials `X_(1)` and `X_(2)` have decay constants `5 lambda` and `lambda` respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of muclei of `X_(1)` to that of `X_(2)` will be `1/e` after a time

A

`(1)/( 4 lambda)`

B

`e // lambda`

C

` lambda `

D
