Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(357\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A =\lambda N\)

\(N = nN _{ A }\)\(\quad\left( t _{1 / 2}=\frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}\right)\)

\(N =\left(\frac{1.5 \times 10^{-3}}{198}\right) N _{ A }\)

\(A=\left(\frac{\ln 2}{t_{1 / 2}}\right) N\)

\(1\) Curie \(=3.7 \times 10^{10}\, Bq\)

\(A =365\, Bq\)
