The decomposition of benzene diazonium chloride is a first order reaction. The time taken for the decomposition of $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{10}$ of its initial concentration are $t_{1/4}$ and $t_{1/10}$ respectively. The value of $\frac{t_{1/4}}{t_{1/10}} \times 100$ is (Given: $\log 2 = 0.3, \log 3 = 0.477$)

For a first order reaction,the initial concentration of a reactant is $0.05 \ M$. After $45 \ minutes$,it is decreased by $0.015 \ M$. Calculate the half-life period $(t_{1/2})$ (in $min$)?
