  1. A radioactive sample with a half life of 1 month has the label : ‘Activity = 2 micro curies on 1–8–1991. What would be its activity two months earlier ?
    1. 1.0 micro curie
    2. 0.5 micro curie
    3. 4 micro curie
    4. 8 micro curie
Correct Option: D

In two half lives, the activity becomes one fourth.
​Activity on 1–8–91 was 2 micro–curie ​
∴ Activity before two months, ​
4 × 2 micro-curie = 8 micro curie
