Solution

The correct option is A 5×104

In order to solve the problem, calculate the value of cell constant of the first solution and then use this value of cell constant to calculate the value of k of second solution. Afterwards, finally calculate molar conductivity using value of k and m.
For first solution,
k=1.4Sm1,R=50Ω,M=0.2
Specific conductance (K)=1R×lA
1.4 Sm1=150×lAlA=50×1.4m1
For second solution, R=280,lA=50×1.4m1
K=1280×1.4×50=14
Now, molar conductivity
λm=K1000×m=141000×0.5=12000=5×104Sm2mol1
