Two radioactive nuclei `P` and `Q`, in a given sample decay into a stable nucleus `R`. At time `t = 0`, number of `P` species are `4 N_0` and that of `Q` are `N_0`. Half-life of `P` (for conversation to `R`) is `1mm` whereas that of `Q` is `2 min`. Initially there are no nuclei of `R` present in the sample. When number of nuclei of `P` and `Q` are equal, the number of nuclei of `R` present in the sample would be :

A

`2N_(0)`

B

`3N_(0)`

C

`(9N_(0))/(2 )`

D

`(5 N_(0))/( 2)`
