  1. A radioactive substance has a half life of four months. Three - fourth of the substance would decay in
    1. 3 months
    2. 4 months
    3. 8 months
    4. 12 months
Correct Option: C

Given half life (t1/2) = 4 months
Hence the amount of a radioactive substance remains half after 4 months. Hence, 3/4th of a substance would decay in two half lives i.e., 8 months.
