There are three lumps of a given radioactive substance. Their activity is in the ratio of 1:2:3 now. What will be the ratio of their activities at any further date?
Correct answer: A. 1:2:3
- A. 1:2:3
- B. 3:2:1
- C. 2:1:3
- D. 2:3:1
Explanation
The ratio of activity of radioactive substance remains the same after a particular time interval.So,A1:A2:A3 = 1:2:3

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
