Question
Samples of two radioactive nuclides $A$ and $B$ are taken. $\lambda A$ and $\lambda B$ are the disintegration constants of $A$ and $B$ respectively. In which of the following cases, the two samples can simultaneously have the same decay rate at any time?

Answer

The two samples of the Two radioactive nuclides $A$ and $B$ can simultaneously have the same decay rate at any time if initial rate of decay of $A$ is twice the initial fate of decay of $B$ and $\lambda_\text{A}>\lambda_\text{B}$.
Also, when initial rate of decay of $B$ is same as rate of decay of $A$ at $t = 2h$ and $\lambda_\text{B}>\lambda_\text{A}$.
