$A$ flask contains a mixture of compounds $AB$ and $XY$. Both decompose by first-order kinetics upon heating. If the half-life periods of $AB$ and $XY$ are $30 \ min$ and $10 \ min$ respectively,how many minutes will it take for the concentration of $AB$ to be four times the concentration of $XY$? (Assume initial concentrations of $AB$ and $XY$ are equal.)

  • A
    $54$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $30$
