The age of the universe is about `10^17` years whereas the mankind has existed for `10^9` years. For how many seconds would the man have existed if the age of universe were 1 day ?

`("The age of the universe")/("The age of the mankind")=(10^(17))/(10^(9))=10^(8)` According to nes scale, the age of universe = 1 day = 86400 s. If the age of man = x
Again the ratio of the two should be `10^(8)`.
`therefore" "(86400)/x=10^(8)`
`rArrx=86400/10^(8)=8.64xx10^(-4)s`

In the chemical analysis of a rock the mass ratio of two radioactive isotopes is found to be 100:1 . The mean lives of the two isotopes are 4xx10^9 years and 2xx10^9 years, respectively. If it is assumed that at the time of formation the atoms of both the isotopes were in equal propotional, calculate the age of the rock. Ratio of the atomic weights of the two isotopes is 1.02:1 .
