Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) S

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) is added to solution, \(\mathrm{KCl}\) will be displaced accrding to following reaction
\(\mathrm{AgNO}_3(a q)+\mathrm{KCl}(a q) \longrightarrow \operatorname{AgCl}(s)+\) \(\mathrm{KNO}_3(a q)\)
For every mole of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) displaced from solution, one mole of \(\mathrm{KNO}_3\) comes in solution resulting in almost constant conductivity. As the end point is reached, added \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) remain in solution increasing ionic concentration, hence conductivity increases.
