Solution

The correct option is D 0.25 g
Amount of Starch added to 100 ml of gold sol required to prevent coagulation of 1mL of 10% NaCl sol = 0.25 g

Starch required to be added to 10 mL Gold sol to completely prevent coagulation by 1mL of 10% NaCl solution = \dfrac{25}{100} \times 10$ = 25 mg

So Gold Number = 25

So 0.25 g of Starch is required.
Option D is correct
