Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Key Idea If a radioactive sample has more than one radioactive material then the effective half life. \(\frac{1}{T_{\text {eff T/2 }}}=\frac{1}{T_{1 \frac{1}{2}}}+\frac{1}{T_{2 \frac{1}{2}}}+\frac{1}{T_{3 \frac{1}{3}}}+\ldots\) Where, \(T_{n \frac{1}{2}}=\) half life of…
