Ans: (ii) and (iv)
The presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles is largely responsible in providing stability to the colloidal
solution, because the repulsive forces between charged particles having same charge prevent them from coalescing or
aggregating when they come closer to one another. The Brownian movement has stirring effect which does not permit the particles to settle and thus, is responsible for the stability of sols hence the answer is (ii) and (iv).
