The time taken by the galvanic cell which operates almost ideally under reversible conditions at a current of 10–16 A to deliver 1 mole of electron is
(1) 19.30 × 1020 S                          (2) 4.825 × 1020 S
(3) 9.65 × 1020 S                            (4) 3.4 × 1011 S

Dear student ,
1 mole of electron requires  1F (96500 C ) of electricity
therefore from Q = i t  we have  96500 = 10-16 × t 
                                  there fore  t = 9.65 × 1020 sec. (option 3 )
Regards

Option 3.
Time = Charge / Current = (1.6x10-19)x (6.022x1023) / 10-16= 9.65x1020
