Answer

$t=38 s$

Work Step by Step

We know that; $V=\frac{KQ}{R}$ This can be rearranged as: $Q=\frac{RV}{K}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q=\frac{0.01\times 1000}{9\times 10^9}=1.1111\times 10^{-9}C$ Now, $N=2\times \frac{(1.1111\times 10^{-9})}{(1.6\times 10^{-19})}=1.3889\times 10^{10}decays$ Thus, $t=\frac{1.3889\times 10^{10}}{3.70\times 10^8}=38 s$
