A mixture consists of two radioactive materials A_1 and A_2 with half-lives of 20 s and 10 s respectively. Initially the mixture has 40 g of A_1 of 160 g of A_2 . After what time of amount of the two in the mixture will become equal ?

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
