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 -

(A) `2N_0`
(B) `3N_0`
(C) `(9N_0)/2`
(D) `(5N_0)/2`

We have two radioactive nuclei A and B . Both convert into a stable nucleus C . Nucleus A converts into C after emitting two two alpha -particles and three beta -particles. Nucleus B converts into C after emitting one. alpha -particle anf five beta -particles. A time t = 0 , nuclei of A are 4N_(0) and that of B are N_(0) . Half-life of A (into the conversion of C ) is 1min and that of B is 2min . Initially number of nuclei of C are zero. What are number of nuclei of C , when number of nuclei of A and B are equal ?
