The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{k}_{2}=0.25 \mathrm{k}_{1}$
As we know that for every $10^{\circ}$ rise in temperature, rate constant, $k$ becomes doubled. Hence, on rising the temperature $20^{\circ}$, the rate constant will be four times, i.e., $k_{1}=4 k_{2} \Rightarrow k_{2}=\frac{1}{4} k_{1}=0.25 k_{1}$
