Explanation / Answer

(a) The equilibrium will shift to the left

(b) The equilibrium will shift to the right

According to the LeChateliers principle, if an equilibrium reaction is subjected to any stress then the equilibrium shifts in the direction of nullifying the stress.

So, if we increase the concentration of reactants then the equilibrium shift in the direction of decreasing the concentration of reactants that is in the forward direction.
