For a reversible reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B$,which one of the following statements is wrong from the given energy profile diagram?

The activation energy for a reaction at the temperature $T \ K$ was found to be $2.303 \ RT \ J \ mol^{-1}$. The ratio of the rate constant to the Arrhenius factor is

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: $A$ reaction can have zero activation energy.
Reason $R$: The minimum extra amount of energy absorbed by reactant molecules so that their energy becomes equal to threshold value,is called activation energy.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

For a particular reaction,the rate constant becomes double on increasing temperature from $27^{\circ} C$ to $37^{\circ} C$. Calculate the approximate activation energy (in $kcal \ mol^{-1}$,$R=2 \ cal \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$).

For the reaction,following data is given,
$A \rightarrow B$; $K_1 = 10^{15} \exp \left( \frac{-2000}{T} \right)$
$C \rightarrow D$; $K_2 = 10^{14} \exp \left( \frac{-1000}{T} \right)$
The temperature at which $K_1 = K_2$ is ........... $K$ $(exp. = e)$
