  1. A \(0.0136 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.0618 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.0196 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.0731 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.0196 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \text { Conductivity }(\mathrm{k})=\frac{\text { Cell constant }}{\mathrm{R}} \\
& \therefore \quad \text { Cell constant }=\mathrm{k} \times \mathrm{R} \\
& =1.64 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \times 120 \Omega \\
& =0.0196 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}
\end{aligned}\)
