Solution
The correct option is D2.05atm When equal volumes of two solutions are mixed, its new osmotic pressure will become the average of the osmotic pressure of the solutions. It is because when volume is doubled, its concentration becomes halved.
∴ New osmotic pressure= P1+P22=1.64atm+2.46atm2=2.05atm
