Suppose, the daughter nucleus in a nuclear decay is itself radioactive. Let `lambda_p and lambda_d` be the decay constants of the parent and the daughter nuclei. Also, let `N_p and N_d` be the number of parent and daughter nuclei at time `t`. Find the condition for which the number of daughter nuclei becomes constant.
