Problem

A radionuclide having decay constant

\lambda

is produced at a constant rate of

\alpha

per sec. If

N_0

be the number of nuclei at

t = 0

, then maximum number of nuclei possible are: (1)

N_0 + \frac{\alpha}{\lambda}

(2)

N_0 + \frac{\lambda}{\alpha}

(3)

\frac{\alpha}{\lambda}

(4)

N_0
