Solution

The correct option is B 10 t
We know that for a first order reaction, the time taken for completion of 50 % is t=0.693kk=0.693t
When 99.9 % is completed, then 0.1 % or 11000 of the reactant will be left.
The rate equation of first order reaction is
kt=2.303logA0At0.693t×t=2.303logaa/10000.693t×t=2.303×3t=10 t
