The boiling point of water in a $0.1 \ m$ molal silver nitrate solution (solution $A$) is $x \ ^{\circ}C$. To this solution $A$,an equal volume of $0.1 \ m$ molal aqueous barium chloride solution is added to make a new solution $B$. The difference in the boiling points of water in the two solutions $A$ and $B$ is $y \times 10^{-2} \ ^{\circ}C$. (Assume: Densities of the solutions $A$ and $B$ are the same as that of water and the soluble salts dissociate completely. Use: Molal elevation constant,$K_b = 0.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$; Boiling point of pure water as $100 \ ^{\circ}C$.) $(1)$ The value of $x$ is $(2)$ The value of $|y|$ is

• A
  $100.1, 2.50$
• B
  $101, 2.55$
• C
  $102, 2.60$
• D
  $103, 2.66$
