The number of beta particles emitted by a radioactive substance is twice the number of alpha particles emitted by it. The resulting daughter is an:

1. isobar of a parent. 2. isomer of a parent.
3. isotone of a parent. 4. isotope of a parent.

In a radioactive material, the activity at time t1 is R1 and at a later time t2, it is R2. If the decay constant of the material is λ, then:

1. R1=R2eλ(t1+t2)

2. R1=R2e-λ(t1-t2)

3. R1=R2(t1-t2)

4. R1=R2
