Half-lives of two radioactive elements A and B are 20 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively. Initially, the samples have equal number of nuclei. After 80 minutes, the ratio of decayed numbers of A and B nuclei will be - (A) 1 : 16 (B) 4 : 1 (C) 1 : 4 (D) 5 : 4

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 4N_0 and that of Q are N_0 . Half-life of P (for conversion to R) is 1 min whereas that of Q is 2min. 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
