The conductivity of an electrolytic solution increases with dilution.

(A) Conductivity (or specific conductivity,$\kappa$) is defined as the conductance of $1 \ cm^3$ of the solution. On dilution,the number of ions per unit volume decreases,which leads to a decrease in the conductivity of the solution. Therefore,the statement 'The conductivity of an electrolytic solution increases with dilution' is incorrect.
