\mathrm{t_{1 / 2} =25.4 \mathrm{~min} }

\mathrm{k =\frac{0.693}{25.4}=0.0273 \mathrm{~min}^{-1} }

\mathrm{t =\frac{2.303}{k} \log \left\{\frac{A_0}{A_0-x}\right\} }

\mathrm{ =\frac{2.303}{0.0273} \log \left\{\frac{4}{1}\right\} }

\mathrm{ t =\frac{1.3865}{0.0273} }

\mathrm{ t =50.78 \mathrm{~min} }

Hence option 1 is correct.
