Sol:   

Fact

Answer : (2)

 

Q. 43. The half life of a radioactive isotope X is 50 years. It decays to another element Y which is stable. The two elements X and Y were found to be in the ratio of 1: 15 in a sample of a given rock. The age of the rock was estimated to be

(1) 100 years                                               (2) 150 years

(3) 200 years                                               (4) 250 years

Sol:   

After t second fractional amount of X left is ,

t = 4 × T1/2
t = 4 × 50
= 200 years

Answer : (3)
