Which of the following statements is not ture about the dilute solutions of alkali metals in liquid ammonia ?

Assertion : As the very dilute solutions of alkali metals in liquid ammonia are made more concentrated, the molar conductivity at first decreases, reaching a minimum at about 0.05 molar, thereafter , it increases again. Reason : The molar conductivity of the saturated solution of the alkali metals in liquid ammonia at -33^(@)C is comparable to that of a metal.
