A Student dissolved 5 g of sugar in 100 mL of distilled water in beaker A. He dissolved 100 g of sugar in 100 mL of distilled water in beaker B. Then he dropped a few raisins of equal weight in each beaker. After two hours he found the raisins in A swollen and those in B shrunken. The inference drown is that:
(1) sugar concentration of raisins is lower than that of solution A and higher than that solution B.
(2) sugar concentration of raisins is higher that that of solution A and lower that that of solution B.
(3) in B the cell membrane of raisins was damaged resulting in bleaching.
(4) in A the permeability of water of the cell membrane of raisins was enhanced

Solution
In the first case, the sugar concentration of raisins was less as compared to the solution in the beaker. As a result, water moves into the raisins causing them to swell.
