Detailed Solution

Molarity of solvant in 500 mL
= 500 g
let molar mass of soluble = M

 molality =(40/m)5001000=40m×2=80m

 Molaritge =(40/M)5151000=40m×1000515

=776m

80m>77.6M

Molarity >Molarity

Hence , 

40.0 g of a solute is dissolved in 500 mL of a solvent ,to give a solution with a volume of 515 m.L. The solvent has a density of 1.00 g/mL.  The statement about this solution The molarity is lower than the molality is correct.
