(ii) water will move from the side (B) to side (A) if a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied on piston (B).

(iii) water will move from the side (B) to side (A) if a pressure equal to osmotic pressure is applied on piston (B).

(iv) water will move from the side (A) to side (B) if pressure equal to osmotic pressure is applied on the piston (A).
