At a fixed temperature, the volume of the reaction container is halved. For this change, which of the given statements holds true regarding the equilibrium constant 
and degree of dissociation ( 
)?

For the reaction
where ' a ' is initial mole of 
present in V litre and ' 
' is its degree of dissociation,
Also, 
On reducing the volume of container to 
, initial concentration of 
becomes 
. An increase in concentration leads to more dissociation of 
in order to have 
constant, a characteristic constant for a given reaction at a temperature.
