Solution

The correct option is D (S)
The plot of conductance (Λ) versus the volume of AgNO3 is as given by (S). This is as explained below.
Initial conductance (Λ) of solution was due to K+(aq.) and Cl(aq.).
On addition of AgNO3, the reaction occurs as,
AgNO3(aq.)+KCl(aq.)AgCl+KNO3
AgNO3 acts as limiting reagent upto complete precipitation. The conductance up to precipitation is a straight line parallel to x-axis due to replacement of Cl ions with NO3 ions (ionic mobility of NO3 and Cl are almost same). After complete precipitation, with further addition of AgNO3, increase in the conductance is observed due to added Ag+,NO3 ions.
