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

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 ?
