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 :
