Three solutions A, B and C were filtered. Solution A passed through the filter paper and the filtrate was clear. Solution B passed through the filter paper and the solution was translucent. Solution C left residue on the filter paper while the filtrate was clear. The relative size of solute particles in solution A, B and C are:

(a) A > B > C               (b) A < B > C                  (c) A < B < C                   (d) A > B < C

Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

Solution A which passes through the filter paper giving a clear filtrate is True solution.
Solution B passed through the filter paper and the solution was translucent, this means it was a Colloidal solution

Solution C left residue on the filter paper, so Solution C was Suspension
True solutions have the smallest particle size followed by the particle size of Colloids followed by the particle size of Suspensions.
A<B<C

Hence option C is correct.
