Solution

The correct option is C solution A is greater than B
MgCl2Mg2++2Cli.e.1+2=3 particles
NaClNa++Cli.e.1+1=2 particles
Osmotic pressure is a colligative property which depends upon the number of particles. The number of particles in MgCl2 being more than that in NaCl, MgCl2 solution will have higher osmotic pressure.
