1) since the concentration of sugar in the outer solution is higher , this means that the concentration of water in it is lower than the concentration of water in the solution present in the visking tube ......so the water will pass by osmosis from the higher concentration of water to the lower concentration of water which means from the visking tube to the outer solution ...................so the water level in the visking tube will decrease
2)I'm not really sure of this one but I think the highest increase in the water level in the beaker would be with the tube having the lowest concentration of suger .........so 1% sugar solution in beaker
But again I'm not sure of this one
