Solution

The correct option is A 390.5
According to Kohlraush's law: Each ion makes a definite contribution to the total molar conductivity of an electrolyte irrespective of the nature of the other ion.

Λom=Xoλ(Ay+)+Yλ(Bx)

Similarly,

Λm(CH3COOH)=Λm(CH3COONa)+Λm(HCl)Λm(NaCl)

Λm(CH3COOH)=91+425.9126.4=390.5 Ω1cm2mol1

Hence, option B is correct.
