Conductivities of water and a saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt $\mathrm{AB_2}$ are 7 and 21 $\mu\mathrm{S\,m^{-1}}$, respectively. Given, $\lambda^{o}_{A^{2+}} = 12.72\ \mathrm{mS\,m^2\,mol^{-1}}$ and $\lambda^{o}_{B^{2-}} = 7.64\ \mathrm{mS\,m^2\,mol^{-1}}$, the solubility of $\mathrm{AB_2}$, in $\mathrm{mol\,m^{-3}}$, is
(a)$5.0 \times 10^{-4}$
(b)$5.0 \times 10^{-3}$
(c)$5.0 \times 10^{-5}$
(d)$5.0 \times 10^{-6}$
