Solution

The correct option is A 5%
Degree of ionization can be defined as a ratio of equivalent conductance at concentration c to the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution. It can be given as follows:
α=λcλ
λc is given as 10 ohm1cm2equi1
λ is given as 200 ohm1cm2equi1
So, α=10200=0.05
% ionization = α×100=0.05×100=5 %
