The half life depends on concentration raise to power \mathrm{(1-n)} where n is order \mathrm{t_{1 / 2}\; \alpha, a^{(1-m)}}

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} &\frac{\left(t_{112}\right)_1}{\left(t_{1 / 2}\right)_2}=\left(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\right)^{1-n} \\ &\frac{100}{50}=\left(\frac{0.5}{1}\right)^{1-n} \end{aligned}}

\mathrm{2^{1}=2^{n-1}}                       \mathrm{n-1=1\; \; \; \; \; \; n=2}

Order of reaction is 2
