In the following chain, 
and 
are radioactive, while 
is stable. Initially, we have only P and Q nuclei. There is no nucleus of R. As the time passes, match the two columns.
Column-I | Column-II | ||
(A) | Nuclei of (P+Q) | (I) | will increase continuously |
(B) | Nuclei of Q | (II) | will decrease continuously |
(C) | Nuclei of (R+Q) | (III) | will first increase then decrease |
(D) | Nuclei of (P+R) | (IV) | data insufficient |
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
P will continuously decrease, but R will increase. 
will continuously decrease as R is formed only from P and Q.
Total -P
P is continously decreasing. So, 
will continuously increase.
