The rate of disintegration of a radioactive element at any time is proportional to its mass at that time, where $k (k > 0)$ is the constant of proportionality. The time during which an original mass of $1.5 \text{ gm}$ will disintegrate to a mass of $0.5 \text{ gm}$ is ...

  • A
    $k \log 3$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{k} \log 3$
  • C
    $k \log 5$
  • D
