A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.
B. `S` is wrong but `E` is wrong.
C. Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.
D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
`Meq.=NxxV_(("in mol"))=(wt.)/(Eq.wt.)xx1000`,
No doubt `N` decreases with solution but `V` increases and thus Meq. remains constant.
