According to Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions:
$\Lambda _{m(CaCl_2)}^o = \lambda _{Ca^{2+}}^o + 2\lambda _{Cl^{-}}^o$
$= 119.0 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1} + 2(76.3 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1})$
$= 119.0 + 152.6 = 271.6 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$\Lambda _{m(MgSO_4)}^o = \lambda _{Mg^{2+}}^o + \lambda _{SO_4^{2-}}^o$
$= 106.0 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1} + 160.0 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$= 266.0 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
