Explanation / Answer

methanol is best solvent for recrystallisation since compond is highly soluble at high temperature (95g/100mL at boiling temp ) but has very low solubility at low temperature (8g/100mL at 25degree C). hence the compound A first dissolved in metanol at boiling temperature, but since its solubility is much less at room temperature so it will recrystallize faster at room temperature in methanol. sovent whose solubility varies more with temperatue are good solvent for recrystallization.
