Chemical Kinetics · First order reaction time

An organic compound undergoes first order decomposition. The times taken for decomposition to (18)th\left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)^{\mathrm{th}} and (110)th\left(\dfrac{1}{10}\right)^{\mathrm{th}} of its initial concentration are t1/8t_{1/8} and t1/10t_{1/10} respectively.

What is the value of t1/8t1/10×10\dfrac{t_{1/8}}{t_{1/10}}\times 10 ?

(log⁡2=0.3\log 2 = 0.3)

  1. (1)9
  2. (2)0.9
  3. (3)3
  4. (4)30
