A sample contains two radioactive isotopes. Isotope A decays by \(\alpha\)\-emission with a half\-life of 2.0\,h and an initial activity of 8.00\times10^{3}\,Bq. Isotope B decays by \(\beta\)\-emission with a half\-life of 6.0\,h and an unknown initial activity. After 4.0\,h the total activity of the sample is measured to be 5.00\times10^{3}\,Bq. Determine the initial activity of isotope B, in becquerels, correct to three significant figures.
