Explanation / Answer

C = capacitance = 75 pF = 75 x 10-12 F

R = resistance = 55 x 106 ohm

T = time constant = RC = (75 x 10-12 ) (55 x 106) = 0.004125 sec

Voltage across the capacitor at any time is given as

V = Vo (1 - e-t/T)

given that : V = 0.90 Vo

0.90 Vo = Vo (1 - e-t/T)

0.90 = (1 - e-t/0.004125)

t = 0.0095 sec
