\mathrm{\left(t_{1 / 2}\right) x=\left(t_{\text {mean }}\right) y}\\ \\ \begin{aligned} &\text{or}~~ \mathrm{ \frac{0.693}{\partial x}=\frac{1}{\partial y}, \quad \therefore \lambda y=\lambda x} \\ & \mathrm{\lambda x=0.693 \lambda y} \\ & \text { Rate decay }=\lambda \mathrm{N} \end{aligned}

Initally number of atoms (N) of both are equal but since \mathrm{\lambda y>\lambda_x,} therefore, y will decay at a faster rate than x.
