A sample contains a mixture of ``^110Ag` and ``^108Ag` isotopes each having an activity of `8.0xx10^8 `disintergrations per second. ``^108Ag` is known to have larger half-life than ``^110Ag`.The activity A is measured as a fuction of time and the following data are obtained .

(a) plot in `(A//A_0)versus time. (b) See that for large values of time, the plot is nearly linear .Deduce the half-life of ``^108Ag` from this portion of the plot .(c ) use the half-life of ``^108Ag` to calculate the activity corresponding to ``^110Ag` in the first 50 s . (d) Plot In `(A//A_0)`versus time for ``^110Ag` for the first 50 s. (e) find the half-life of ``^110Ag`.
