A radioactive substance takes 20 min to decay 25%. How much time will be taken to decay 75% :

A

96.4 min

B

68 min

C

964 min

D

680 min

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For 25% decay
`K = (2.303)/(20) log (100)/(75) = (2.303)/(20) xx 0.1249 = 0.1438`
For 75% decay
`t= (2.303)/(0.01438) log (100)/(25) = 96.4 ` minutes
