(A)both and increases
(B)both and decreases
(C) increases and decreasesCorrect
(D) decreases and increases

Answer: (C)

Solution

On dilution, the number of ions per unit volume decreases, so conductivity (conductance of unit volume of solution) decreases. But molar conductivity increases, because concentration falls faster than and,
