The correct answer is:
two
$$
\frac{\left(t_{1 / 2}\right)_{1}}{\left(t_{1 / 2}\right)_{2}}=\left(\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}\right)^{n-1} ; \frac{120}{240}=\left(\frac{4 \times 10^{-2}}{8 \times 10^{-2}}\right)^{n-1} ; n=2
$$
\frac{\left(t_{1 / 2}\right)_{1}}{\left(t_{1 / 2}\right)_{2}}=\left(\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}\right)^{n-1} ; \frac{120}{240}=\left(\frac{4 \times 10^{-2}}{8 \times 10^{-2}}\right)^{n-1} ; n=2
