The correct answer is: 810
In first 2 s, number of nucleons present is 900 out of 1000,
This means Percentage number of nuclei left =9001000×100=90%, i.e., 90% nuclei are left behind.
Therefore in next 2 s, 90% of 900 nuclei will be left.
Number of nuclei left =90100×900=810, i.e., 810 nuclei will be left.
