Solution

The correct option is B 60%
no. of moles of NaCl=1
relative lowering of vapour pressure =i×mole fraction of solute

relative lowering of vapour pressure= i×n(solute)n(solute)+n(solvent)
0.4=i×14
therefore i=1.6
degree of dissociation/ionisation=i1n1

NaClNa++Cl So, n=2

α=0.6
=60%
Option A is correct.
