For zero order, XA = k*t/[A]0.
For first order, XA = 1 - e^(-k*t).
For second order, XA = [A]0/(1+[A]0*k*t).

With the increase in [A]0 at constant t:
For zero order: XA decreases with increase in [A]0.
For the first order: XA remains constant, independent of [A]0.
For second order: XA increases with an increase in [A]0.

For zero oder; it will be increasing.
For second order; it will be decreasing.
For first order; there will no change.

For first order, ln(1-XA) = -kt.

Hence.
t/2=(2^n-1 -1)/[(A)^n-1 (n-1)k].

For First order;
Initial concentration A =1.
