A plant cell is placed in solution ‘A’, it swells up and becomes turgid. Then it is placed in solution ‘B’, it comes back to its original condition. The cell shrinks further when placed in solution ‘C’ and the cell contents move away from the cell wall. If the concentration of a normal cell is around 1% then concentrations of the three solutions is likely to be
