• A. Melting point of solution increases
• B. Boiling point of solution increases
• C. Boiling point of solution decreases
• D. both melting .point and boiling point decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Boiling point of solution increases

Common salt is a non-volatile solute which lowers the vapour pressure of the solution and eventually increases boiling point of solution.
