Samples of two radioactive nuclides A and B are taken. \lambdaA and \lambdaB are the disintegration constants of A and B respectively. In which of the following cases, the two samples can simultaneously have the same decay rate at any time?

(a) Initial rate of decay of B is the same as the rate of decay of A at t = 2h and λB < λA

(b) Initial rate of decay of A is twice the initial rate of decay of B and \lambdaA > \lambdaB

(c) Initial rate of decay of A is twice the initial rate of decay of B and \lambdaA = \lambdaB

(d) Initial rate of decay of B is twice the initial rate of decay of A and \lambdaA > \lambdaB
