2 grams
32 grams
8 grams
ব্যাখ্যা
$${t_{1/2}} = 5\,\,$$ years, $$T=15$$ years hence -
total number of half life periods $$ = {{15} \over 3} = 3.$$
$$\therefore$$ Amount left $$ = {{64} \over {{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}} = 8g$$
total number of half life periods $$ = {{15} \over 3} = 3.$$
$$\therefore$$ Amount left $$ = {{64} \over {{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}} = 8g$$
