To the already prepared solution of a solute ‘A’ prepared in water, a small amount of ‘A’ is added. However, it does not dissolve. What does it indicate?

Solution

When solute ‘A’ was added to water (solvent) a solution was made. In this solution when a small amount of solute ‘A’ was added, it does not dissolve. This indicates that the solution is now saturated.
A saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be added. If the solute is added to such a solution it will not dissolve. For example, if we add a spoon of sugar to a glass of water it will become a solution. But if we try to add one bowl of sugar to the same glass it will become saturated. Now no more sugar can be added to it. If added it will not dissolve.
So, here in the given question if solute ‘A’ is not getting dissolved means the solution has become saturated.
