Answer
The lifetime of the excited state is $~~10~ns$
Work Step by Step
Let $P$ be the probability that an excited atom will emit a photon.
We can find the lifetime of the excited state:
$P = \lambda~\Delta t$
$P = (\frac{1}{\tau})~(\Delta t)$
$\tau = \frac{\Delta t}{P}$
$\tau = \frac{0.10~ns}{0.010}$
$\tau = 10~ns$
The lifetime of the excited state is $~~10~ns$
