Question

Match the symbols in the List I with the terms used in the List II of conductance measurements, and

List I Symbols		List II Terms
A	\(\Omega^{-1}\)	I	Specific conductance
B	\(∧\)	II	Electrical conductance
C	k	III	Specific resistance
D	\(\rho\)	IV	Equivalent conductance

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A ‐ III, B ‐ I, C ‐ IV, D ‐ II
• B. A ‐ II, B ‐ IV, C ‐ I, D ‐ III
• C. A ‐ IV, B ‐ II, C ‐ III, D ‐ I
• D. A ‐ I, B ‐ III, C ‐ II, D ‐ IV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the given problem, we need to match each symbol from List I with the corresponding term from List II used in conductance measurements. Let's analyze each option: 

1. Symbol \(\Omega^{-1}\): This symbol represents the reciprocal of resistance, which is the unit of conductance. This matches with Electrical conductance (II).
2. Symbol \(∧\): This symbol is used for Equivalent conductance (IV), which is the conductance of an electrolyte solution containing one equivalent of electrolyte.
3. Symbol \(k\): Usually, \(k\) denotes Specific conductance (I), which is the conductance of a solution per unit length and cross-sectional area.
4. Symbol \(\rho\): This stands for Specific resistance (III)

Based on this understanding, the correct match would be:

• A - II: \(\Omega^{-1}\) matches with Electrical conductance
• B - IV: ∧ matches with Equivalent conductance
• C - I: \(k\) matches with Specific conductance
• D - III: \(\rho\) matches with Specific resistance

Thus, the correct answer is A ‐ II, B ‐ IV, C ‐ I, D ‐ III.
