t_{1 / 2}=\frac{0.69}{k}, \quad t_{3/4}=t_{75 \%}
t_{3 / 4}=\frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{a}{\left(a-\frac{3 a}{4}\right)}
         \begin{array}{l}{=\frac{2.303}{k} \log 4} \\\\ {=\frac{2.303}{k} \times 2 \times 0.3010=\frac{0.69 \times 2}{k}}\end{array}
\frac{t_{3 / 4}}{t_{1 / 2}}=\frac{0.69 \times 2}{k} \times \frac{k}{0.69}
\frac{t_{3 / 4}}{t_{1 / 2}}= 2

Therefore, option(3) is correct
