Given below are two statements :

Statement $I:$ The law of radioactive decay states that the number of nuclei undergoing the decay per unit time is inversely proportional to the total number of nuclei in the sample.

Statement $II:$ The half life of a radionuclide is the sum of the life time of all nuclei, divided by the initial concentration of the nuclei at time $t =0$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct
  • Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect
  • C
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect
  • D
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct
