In an alpha decay, the daughter nucleus...

In an alpha decay, the daughter nucleus produced is itself unstable and undergoes further decay. If the number of parent and daughter nuclei at time t are `Nl_p and `N_d respectively and their decay constant are `lambda_p `and `lambda_d` respectively. What condition needs to be satisfied in order for `Nd` to remain constant ?

A source contains two species of phosphorous nuclei, "_15 ^32 P (T_1//2=14.3d) and "_15 ^33 p (T_1//2=25.3d). at time t= 0 , 10% of the decays are from "_15^33P. How much time has to elapse for only 90% of the decays?
