Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 8 gm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial amount \(=64 \mathrm{gms}\)
Half life period \(=5\) : years
\(\therefore \quad\) Amount of substance left after 5 years \(=\frac{64}{2}=32 \mathrm{gms}\)
Amount of substance left after 10 years \(=\frac{32}{2}=16 \mathrm{gms}\)
Amount of substance left after 15 years \(=\frac{16}{2}=8 \mathrm{gms}\)
