As we discussed in

\because A\:=\:A_{o}e\frac{bt}{2m}

A_{o} = Maximum amplitude

According to question after 5 sec

0.9 A_{o}\:=\:A_{o}e\frac{b(5)}{2m}--------(i)

After 10 more seconds

A\:=A_{o}e\frac{b(15)}{2m}-----------(ii)

from equations in (i) and (ii)

A=0.729 Ao

\therefore\: \propto\:=0.729.
