Detailed Solution

According to faradays first law, w is directly proportional to q, mathematically,  wq
Therefore, w=eq, where q = electrochemical equivalent
Now, 1 amp current is passed for 1 sec then q=1C
w=e(1)
Now for silver.
Ag++e-Ag,       

Molecular weight = 108, formula is 
Molecular weight= electrochemical equivalent x F
By putting the above  values
∴ Electrochemical equivalent= 108F

Therefore option B is correct.
