  1. A 16.625
  2. B 13.625
  3. C 14.625
  4. D 15.625
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 15.625

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Half life period of bismuth is 5 days.
Initial mass \(=1000 \mathrm{mg}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Mass left after 5 days \(=500 \mathrm{mg}\)
Mass left after 10 days \(=250 \mathrm{mg}\)
Mass left after 15 days \(=125 \mathrm{mg}\)
Mass left after 20 days \(=62.5 \mathrm{mg}\)
Mass left after 25 days \(=31.25 \mathrm{mg}\)
Mass left after 30 days \(=15.625 \mathrm{mg}\)
