The average life of a radioactive sample...

The average life of a radioactive sample is 100 millisecond. A charged capacitor having capacitance 200 `muF` is connected across a resistance R. For what value of R, the ratio of charge on capacitor to the activity of the sample remains constant with time or independent of time.
