Two radioactive materials A and B have decay constants 20λ and 5λ respectively. If initially they have the same number of nuclei, then the ratio of the number of nuclei of A to that of B will be \(\frac{1}{e^{3}}\) after a time interval, t is,
- \(\frac{1}{3 \lambda} \mathrm{sec}^{\circ}\)
- \(\frac{1}{6 \lambda} \mathrm{sec}\)
- \(\frac{1}{5 \lambda} \mathrm{sec}\)
- \(\frac{1}{9 \lambda} \mathrm{sec}\)
