In a conductometric titration, small volume of titrant of higher concentration is added stepwise to a larger volume of titrate of much lower concentration, and the conductance is measured after each addition.
The limiting ionic conductivity values (in ) for different ions in aqueous solutions are given below:
For different combinations of titrates and titrants given in List-I, the graphs of 'conductance' versus 'volume of titrant' are given in List-II.

Correct answer: C
Step 1: Principle of conductometric titration
Conductance depends on:
- Number of ions present
- Charge on ions
- Ionic mobility
Here, we compare slopes using limiting ionic conductivity values .
At equivalence point, the nature of ions present changes, so the graph shows a break.
Step 2: Analyse each titration
(P) Titrate: , Titrant:
Reaction:
Initially, solution contains and . As is added, is removed as precipitate and is replaced by .
Compare ionic conductivities:
So before equivalence, conductance slightly decreases. After equivalence, excess adds free and , so conductance increases sharply.
Thus graph: small decrease up to equivalence, then increase. So .
(Q) Titrate: , Titrant:
Reaction:
Initially, solution contains and . As is added, is removed and replaced by .
Compare ionic conductivities:
So before equivalence, conductance increases slightly. After equivalence, excess adds free and , so conductance increases more steeply.
Thus graph: increase before equivalence, steeper increase after equivalence. So .
(R) Titrate: , Titrant:
Reaction:
Initially, solution contains and . Since is high, replacing by causes conductance to decrease sharply up to equivalence.
After equivalence, excess adds highly mobile : so conductance increases sharply.
Thus graph: V-shaped, sharp decrease then sharp increase. So .
(S) Titrate: , Titrant:
Reaction:
Initially, solution contains and . As acetic acid is added, is replaced by .
Compare:
So conductance decreases strongly up to equivalence. After equivalence, because is a weak acid, it ionizes only slightly, so conductance increases only slightly after equivalence.
Thus graph: decrease up to equivalence, then gentle increase. So .
Step 3: Final matching
We get:
This corresponds to Option C.
Step 4: Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = C
Our derived answer = C
So the answer agrees.
