What is the actual question? Are you given the target frequency? If not, are you asked to solve R1 as a function of the frequency or the other way around?
Have you attempted the problem?

Some hints. No one here is supposed to solve it for you.
1) Calculate Tl + Th in seconds (or milliseconds)
2) Then calculate Th with the information given
3) Then calculate R1 from its equation and the known values

Hello,

Your picture has clear formulas:

Use the directions of John to calculate the cycle time and the high and low times.
Then you can calculate R1.

That also is not correct.
1) Where are your units?
2) Given a frequency of 50 Hz, what is the period? That is all the information your need to calculate it.

Just look at the units. What are the units of frequency? What are the units of period?
