(b)
According to common ion effect, dissociation of weak electrolyte is further suppressed in presence of strong electrolyte having common ion.
$	herefore\ \ AgCl$ is weak electrolyte and $NaCl$ is strong electrolyte having common anion.
$	herefore$ Solubility as well as concentration of $Ag^{+}\ and\ Cl^{-}$ will decrease.
