AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the concepts of half-life and the radioactive decay formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The half-life (T₁/₂) of the radioactive nuclei is given as 3 days. - The initial activity (A₀) is 8 times the safe limit. We need to find the time (t) when the activity will reduce to the safe limit (A₀/8). ...
