The correct answer is: 66

The relation between Molar conductance λm and specific conductance κ is 

λm=k×1000M

M = molarity

λm=5×10-5×1032.5×10-3=20  S cm2 mol-1

Now, the degree of dissociation, α=λmλ

α=20400=120

The acid dissociation constant, Ka=2(1-α)=2.5×10-3120×1201920

= 65.789 × 107

 66 × 107
