$A$ substance undergoes first-order decomposition. The decomposition follows two parallel first-order reactions as:
$A \xrightarrow{k_1} B$ $k_1 = 1.26 \times 10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$
$A \xrightarrow{k_2} C$ $k_2 = 3.8 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}$
The percentage distribution of $B$ and $C$ are:

  • A
    $75\% \ B$ and $25\% \ C$
  • B
    $80\% \ B$ and $20\% \ C$
  • C
    $60\% \ B$ and $40\% \ C$
  • D
    $76.83\% \ B$ and $23.17\% \ C$
