A) 50 min
B) 100 min
C) 99 min
D) 150 min
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Radioactive disintegration is a Ist order reaction, hence. \[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{a}{a-x}\] \[\therefore \] \[k=\frac{2.303}{15}\log \frac{100}{100-50}\] also \[k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{100}{100-99}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{2.303}{15}\log \frac{100}{50}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{100}{1}\] \[\frac{1}{15}\log 2=\frac{1}{t}\log 100\] \[\frac{0.3010}{15}=\frac{2}{t}\] \[t=\frac{2\times 15}{0.3010}=99\,\min \]
