Solution

The correct option is D 2:1:3
We know that,

RR0=eλt

Where, R is the activity after time t.
R0 is the initial activity.

ln(RR0)=λt

lnRlnR0=λt

lnR=λt+lnR0

From the above equation, we get λ= slope of the graph.

From graph :

λA=610=ln2T1/2(A)

λB=65=ln2T1/2(B)

λC=25=ln2T1/2(C)

T1/2(A):T1/2(B):T1/2(C)=ln2λA:ln2λB:ln2λC

=106:56:52=10:5:15

T1/2(A):T1/2(B):T1/2(C)=2:1:3

Hence, (D) is the correct answer.
