Solution
The correct option is B10t We know that for a first order reaction, the time taken for completion of 50% is t=0.693k⇒k=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′=2.303logA0At⇒0.693t×t′=2.303logaa/1000⇒0.693t×t′=2.303×3⇒t′=10t
