To obeserve the effect of concentration on the conductivity, electrolytes of different natures are taken in two vessels A and B, A contains weak electrolyte, e.g., NH_(4)OH and B contains strong electrolyte, e.g., NaCl . In both containers, the concentration of respective electrolyte is increased and the conductivity observed :

Statement: For a weak electrolyte, the plot of molar conductivity (Lambda_(m)) against sqrt(C )(C is concentration in mol litre^(-1)) is nearly linear. Explanation: The molar conductivity at infinite dilution (Lambda_(m)) for an electrolyte can be considered equal to the sum of the limiting molar conductivities of the individual ions.

Above plot represents the variation of molar conductance against sqrtC (where C = molar concentration of the electrolyte) . Select the correct option among following .
