Number of nuclei decayed in time t,
%\begin{aligned} \mathrm{N_d=N_0 }&\mathrm{ \left(1-e^{-\lambda t}\right) }\\ \therefore \quad \text { decayed } &\mathrm{ =\left(\frac{N_d}{N_0}\right) \times 100 }\\ &\mathrm{ =\left(1-e^{-\lambda t} d\right) \times 100}\\ &\mathrm{Here, \lambda=\frac{0.693}{1386}=5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\\ \therefore \% \text { decayed } &\mathrm{ =(\lambda t) \times 100 }\\ &\mathrm{ =\left(5 \times 10^{-4}\right) \times 80 \times 100 }\\ &\mathrm{ =4 }\\ \end{aligned}
