Detailed Solution

  • Down the group size of alkaline earth metal increases. 
  • As the size increases hydration energy decreases
  • As hydration energy decreases the solubility of sulphates decreases

So the solubility order of alkaline earth metal sulphates is 

BeSO4>MgSO4>CaSO4>SrSO4>BaSO4.

The solubility of both BeSO4 and MgSO4 are high only but when compared to BeSO4MgSO4 is slightly less soluble.   

Hence the correct option is (A).
