Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.26\text{ cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The relationship between conductivity (\(\kappa\)), resistance (\(R\)), and cell constant (\(G^*\)) is given by:

\(G^* = \kappa \times R\)

Substituting the given values:

\(\kappa = 0.021 \text{ Ohm}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}\)

\(R = 60 \, \Omega\)

\(G^* = 0.021 \times 60 = 1.26 \text{ cm}^{-1}\)

Answer: \(1.26\text{ cm}^{-1}\)
