(A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II)

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

(A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II)

Solution :

The correct option is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).

Let us understand the definition and explanation for each type of solution step-by-step to match the lists correctly:

(A) Saturated solution:
A saturated solution is a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. Additional solute will not dissolve in a saturated solution at that specific temperature. Therefore, it matches description (III): "A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature."

(B) Isotonic solutions:
The term 'iso' means equal, and 'tonic' refers to osmotic pressure. Isotonic solutions are two solutions having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane at a given temperature. Therefore, it matches description (IV): "The solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature."

(C) Binary solution:
The prefix 'bi' means two. A binary solution is a liquid mixture comprised of exactly two components: a solute and a solvent. Therefore, it matches description (I): "Solution having two components."

(D) Hypertonic solution:
The prefix 'hyper' means above or excessive. A hypertonic solution is one that has a higher solute concentration, and consequently a higher osmotic pressure, compared to another reference solution. Therefore, it matches description (II): "A solution whose osmotic pressure is more than that of another."

Combining these matching pairs:
(A) matches with (III)
(B) matches with (IV)
(C) matches with (I)
(D) matches with (II)
