For the parallel first order reaction shown below the value of $k_1$ is $1 \times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$. If the reaction starts from X, the ratio of the concentrations of Y and Z at any given time during the course of the reaction is found to be $\frac{[\mathrm{Y}]}{[\mathrm{Z}]} = \frac{1}{4}$. The value of $k_2$ is:
(a)$1 \times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$
(b)$2.5 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$
(c)$4 \times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$
(d)$4 \times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$
