Which of the following relations is correct for the given reaction orders?

In a first order reaction,the concentration of the reactant decreases from $20 \ mmol$ to $10 \ mmol$ in $1.151 \ min$. What is the rate constant (in $min^{-1}$)?

$R \rightarrow P$ is a first order reaction. For this reaction,a graph of $\ln [R]$ (on $y$-axis) and time (on $x$-axis) gives a straight line with a negative slope. The intercept on the $y$-axis is equal to ($k =$ rate constant):
