$A$ flask contains a mixture of compounds $A$ and $B.$ Both compounds decompose by first-order kinetics. The half-lives for $A$ and $B$ are $300 \ s$ and $180 \ s,$ respectively. If the concentrations of $A$ and $B$ are equal initially,the time required for the concentration of $A$ to be four times that of $B$ (in $s$): (Use $\ln 2 = 0.693$)

  • A
    $180$
  • B
    $120$
  • C
    $300$
  • D
    $900$
