Solution

The correct option is D 2.05 atm
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

Hence, the correct option is D
