Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}_{99.9 \%}} \ln \left(\frac{100}{0.1}\right)=\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}_{90 \%}} \ln \left(\frac{100}{10}\right)\) \(\mathrm{t}_{99.9 \%}=\mathrm{t}_{90 \%} \frac{\ln \left(10^3\right)}{\ln 10}\) \(\mathrm{t}_{99.9 \%}=\mathrm{t}_{90 \%} \times 3\)
