A radiactive sample decays by two different processes .Half - life for the first process is `t_(1)` and for the second process is `t_(2)` . The effective half-life is

A

`T_(1//2)=(T_(1//2)^((1))+ T_(1//2)^((2)))/(T_(1//2)^((1))-T_(1//2)^((2)))`

B

`T_(1//2)=T_(1//2)^((1))+ T_(1//2)^((2))`

C

`T_(1//2)=(T_(1//2)^((1))T_(1//2)^((2)))/(T_(1//2)^((1))-T_(1//2)^((2)))`

D

None of the above
