In the chemical analysis of a rock the mass ratio of two radioactive isotopes is found to be 100:1100: 1. The mean lives of the two isotopes are 4×109yr4 \times 10^9 {yr} and 2×109yr2 \times 10^9 \mathrm{yr}, respectively. If it is assumed that at the time of formation the atoms of both the isotopes were in equal proportion, the age of the rock p×1010yrp \times 10^{10} \mathrm{yr}, where the value of pp is ......... (Take, ratio of the atomic weights of the two isotopes is 1.02:11.02: 1.)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1.834
Option A (1.834) is correct because the age of the rock is calculated to be approximately 1.834×10101.834 \times 10^{10} years using the radioactive decay formula and the given ratios.
