Expert Solution
Introduction:

The voltage applied to capacitor is given. Since capacitor and resistor are connected in series, the voltage gets divided. We can thus find the resistance. We are then given the resistor through which the capacitor gets discharged.

The voltage of capacitor discharging is given as

V=Voe-t/RC

Where R,C are resistance and capacitance respectively.
