Question

The phenomenon of Reverse Osmosis (RO) occurs practically when which of the following mechanical conditions is met?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Osmosis drives solvent into the concentrated solution naturally. If an external mechanical pressure ($P_{ext}$) is applied to the solution side that strictly exceeds its osmotic pressure ($\pi$), the flow reverses, forcing pure solvent out.
