Specific conductance,

\sigma =1.4Sm^{-1}=1.4\times 10^{-2}\: 5cm^{-1}

Resistivity,

\rho =\frac{1}{\kappa}=\frac{1}{1.4\times 10^{-2}}\ \Omega cm

Resistance, R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Now, for a 0.5 M solution, R=280 \Omega

\kappa =\frac{1}{\rho}=\frac{1}{R}\times \frac{l}{A}=\frac{1}{280}\times 50\times 1.4\times 10^{-2}

=2.5\times 10^{-3}Scm^{-1}

\therefore molar conductivity,

\mu=\frac{\kappa\times 1000}{c}=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times 1000}{0.5}

\mathrm{5\ Scm^{2}mol^{-1}}

\mathrm{=5\times 10^{-4} Sm^{2} mol^{-1}}

Therefore, the correct option is (1).
