For a radioactive material, half-life is `10` minutes. If initially there are `600` number of nuclei, the time taken (in minutes) for the disintegration of `450` nuclei is.

A

30

B

10

C

20

D

15

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Half life =10 minutes
so `600 overset(???)(to)300overset(???)(to)150`
`implies` Total time =2 half life =20 min.
