We know this formula:- 

\\\mathrm{t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{[R_{o}]}{[R]}}

For 90% completion, the required time will be -

\\\\\mathrm{t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{[R_{o}]}{[0.1R_{o}]}}

\\\mathrm{t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{k}log10}

\\\mathrm{t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{k}}

 

Half-life is given as 6.93 years. So, 
\\\mathrm{k\: =\: \frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

\\\mathrm{k\: =\: \frac{0.693}{6.93}\: =\: 0.1}

Thus, t is given as fro 90% completion:

\\\mathrm{t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{k}}

\\\mathrm{t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{0.1}}

Thus, t = 23.03 years
