Detailed Solution

Here we have,
Gf0 (AgCl)= 109kJ/mol,
Gf0 (Cl- )=129KJ / mol    and
Gf0(Ag+) 78KJ / mol.
We have to find out Ecell0=?
At anode reaction will be,    
AgAg++e-
At cathode reaction will be,
AgCl+e- Ag(S)+Cl-
Therefore, The net cell reaction will be,
AgClAg++Cl-
We know that ,Free energy is given by
Greaction0=ΣΔG product0ΣΔGreactant0
Product of Ag and Cl is 78 and 129 and reactant of AgCl is -109
By putting above values in equation we get,

Greaction0=(78129)(109)  
Greaction0=+58kJ/mol
We know that,
ΔG0=nFE0  
By putting values we get
58×103=1×96500×Ecell0
Ecell0=-58×1000/ 965000=0.60V
Therefore the required option is option A.
