Half-life for certain radioactive elemen...

Half-life for certain radioactive element is `5 min`. Four nuclei of that element are observed at a certain instant of time. After `5` minutes
STATEMENT-I: It can be definitely said that two nuclei will be left undecayed.
STATEMENT-II: After half-life that is `5` minutes, half of totan nuclei will disintegrate. So, only two nuclei will be left undecayed.
