As we learnt in

Number of nuclei after disintegration -

N=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t} or A=A_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

- wherein

Number of nucleor activity at a time is exponentional function

 

 N=\frac{N_{0}}{8}=\frac{N_{0}}{2^{t/T_{1/2}}}

Hence   t = 3 T1/2

given t = 15 min.

\Rightarrow\ \;T_{1/2}=5 min.

Correct option is 1.


Option 1)

5 minutes

This is the correct option.

Option 2)

7\frac{1}{2} minutes

This is an inocrrect option.

Option 3)

10 minutes

This is an inocrrect option.

Option 4)
