Which of the following statements is/are true?

I. The Liso value for a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride, which has a
freezing point depression of 0.52  and is thus isotonic with body fluids,
is 3.4
II. In dilute solutions of nonelectrolytes, Liso is approximately equal to Kf
III. The interionic attraction in solutions that are not too
concentrated is roughly the same for all uni-univalent
electrolytes regardless of the chemical nature of the various
compounds of this class, and all have about the same value
for Liso, namely 3.4

This defect results from inadequate spreading of the coating solution

before drying causing a bumpy effect on the coating:
The correct answer is: Orange Peel

When coated tablets require further drying in ovens, too rapid
