vishagh: The secound part also...plzz

Anonymous: The answer is 40s. I have attached the working above.

vishagh: I guess there was an error while uploading,the secound part didnt reach... :(

Anonymous: Reduction to 6.25% of reduced number => (No/8) becomes (1/16)(No/8) => Number of half lives required = 4 => Total time required = 10 X 4 = 40s
