Which of the following is the correct equation for a first-order reaction?

For the first-order gaseous reaction $A \rightarrow 2B + C$ at $373 \, K$,starting with pure $A$,the total pressure of the system after $10 \, min$ is $176 \, mm \, Hg$ and after a long time,it is $270 \, mm \, Hg$. Based on this information,calculate: $(1)$ Initial pressure of $A$,$(2)$ Pressure of $A$ after $10 \, min$,and $(3)$ Rate constant.
