Two radioactive nuclei P and Q, in a given sample decay into

Two radioactive nuclei P and Q, in a given sample decay into a stable nucleolus R. At time t = 0, number of P species are 4 N and that of Q are No. Half-life of P (for conversion to R) is 1 minute where as that of Q is 2 minutes. Initially there are no nuclei of R present in the sample. When number of nuclei of P and Q are equal, the number of nuclei of R present in the sample would be (a) 3N 5No 9No (b) 2 (d) 2N
