As we have learnt,

 

Second law of electrolysis -

The masses of different substances, liberated or dissolved by the electricity are proportional to their equivalent masses.

-

 

 

Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag \;\;\; E_{Ag} = \frac{108}{1} \\* Eq. of Zn = Eq of Cu = Eq of Ag = \frac{i\cdot t}{96500} = \frac{1.45}{108} = \frac{1.5\times t}{96500} \\*\Rightarrow t = 864 sec = 14.4 min


Option 1)

13.4 min

Option 2)

14.4 min

Option 3)

15.4 min

Option 4)
