Reaction `A to` Products follows first order kinetics while reaction `Bto` products follows second order kinetics. If both have same half-lives, then starting with the same initial concentrtion of A and B, compare their rates
at the start of the reaction

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to compare the rates of two reactions: one following first-order kinetics (reaction A) and the other following second-order kinetics (reaction B), given that they have the same half-lives and start with the same initial concentrations.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Half-Life**:
- For a first-order reaction, the half-life (\(t_{1/2}\)) is given by the formula:
\[
t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k_A}
