\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{Using ~N=N_0 e^{-\lambda t}}\\ &\mathrm{where, ~\lambda=\frac{\ln 2}{t_{1 / 2}}=\frac{0.693}{3.8}}\\ \mathrm{\therefore \frac{N_2}{20}} &\mathrm{ =N_0 e^{-\frac{\ln (2)}{3.8} t} }\\ \mathrm{\frac{1}{20} }&\mathrm{ =e^{-\frac{\ln (2)}{3.8}} }\\ \mathrm{\log \frac{1}{20} }&\mathrm{ =\log e^{-\frac{\ln (2)}{3.8} t}}=\mathrm{\log e^{-\frac{0.693}{3.8} t} }\\ \mathrm{ t} &=16.5 \text { days. } \end{aligned}
