Solution

The correct option is A
True

$100 %$ pure water has a water potential of zero. Adding the solute to the water decrease the water potential. In other words, water potential of a solution will be less than zero or negative.

Q. 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
