Boron consists of two stable isotopes, B-10 (10.01 amu10.01\,\text{amu}) and B-11 (11.01 amu11.01\,\text{amu}). The average atomic mass of boron is 10.81 amu10.81\,\text{amu}. Which ratio of the number of B-10 atoms to B-11 atoms in a typical natural sample is closest to the true value? a) 1:31:3 b) 1:41:4 c) 4:14:1 d) 1:21:2
