Solar energy is mainly caused due to [2003]

1. fusion of protons during synthesis of heavier elements

2. gravitational contraction

3. burning of hydrogen in the oxygen

4. fission of uranium present in the sun

A sample of radioactive elements contains $4\times {10}^{10}$ active nuclei. If half-life of element is 10 days, then the number of decayed nuclei after 30 days is
