Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Since the original count rate is 600 Bq,

i) after 1 half life, the count rate decreases to 1/2 of 600 Bq = 300 Bq

ii) after 2 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/4 of 600 = 150 Bq

iii) after 3 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/6 of 600 = 100 Bq

iv) after 4 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/8 of 600 = 75 Bq
