(b) Amplitude of damped oscillator $A = {A_0}{e^{ - \lambda t}};\;\lambda \; = $constant, $t = time$

For $t =1 min$. $\frac{{{A_0}}}{2} = {A_0}{e^{ - \lambda t}} \Rightarrow {e^\lambda } = 2$ 

For $t = 3 min$ $A = {A_0}{e^{ - \lambda \times 3}} = \frac{{{A_0}}}{{{{({e^\lambda })}^3}}} = \frac{{{A_0}}}{{{2^3}}}$ $ \Rightarrow X = {2^3}$
