For the forward activation energy is and . A catalyst lowers the forward activation energy to . The activation energy of the reverse reaction in the catalysed route, in , is

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: A

holds for both routes since is unchanged by a catalyst. So (the uncatalysed value is 60).
