The activation energy of a reaction is zero. The rate constant of this reaction

Which one of the following does not represent the Arrhenius equation?

It has been found that for a chemical reaction with a rise in temperature by $9 \, K$,the rate constant gets doubled. Assuming a reaction to be occurring at $300 \, K$,the value of activation energy is found to be $...... \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. [nearest integer]
(Given $\ln 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}, \log 2 = 0.30$ )

For an exothermic reaction $A \rightarrow B$,the activation energy of $A$ is $17 \, kJ/mol$. The heat of reaction is $40 \, kJ$. Calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction $B \rightarrow A$.
