Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
I = \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Fraction decayed = 1 - \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{7}{8}\)
I = \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Fraction decayed = 1 - \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{7}{8}\)
