Answer: C

[[math]] \begin{aligned} \mu_{x} & =-\frac{d}{d_{x}} \ln S_{0}(x)=-\frac{1}{3} \frac{d}{d_{x}} \ln \left(1-\frac{x}{60}\right) \\ & =\frac{1}{180}\left(1-\frac{x}{60}\right)^{-1}=\frac{1}{3(60-x)} \end{aligned} [[/math]]

Therefore, [math]1000 \mu_{35}=(1000) \frac{1}{3(25)}=\frac{1000}{75}=13.3[/math].
