Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(256\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(N = N _0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ n }\) \(\frac{ N _0}{8}= N _0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ n }\) \(n =3\) \(3 \text { half lives }=3 \text { days }\) \(1 \text { half life }=1 \text { day }\) \(5 \text { days }=5 \text { half life }\) \(N = N _0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ n }\)…
