Detailed Solution

Ans: ABD
0 30 $\infty$
30 20 -15
$k = \frac{1}{30} 2.3 \log \frac{30 - (- 15)}{20 - (- 15)} = \frac{1}{30} 2.3 \log \frac{45}{35}$
$t_{1 / 2} = 75 \min$
$k = \frac{1}{t} 2.3 \log \frac{45}{0 - (- 15)}$
$t = 120 \min$
$\frac{30 - (- 15)}{x - (- 15)} = 2$ at half time
$\Rightarrow \frac{45}{x \times 15} = 2$ $\Rightarrow x + 15 = \frac{45}{2}$ $\Rightarrow x = 22.5 - 15 = {7.5}^{0}$
