Answer:

A solution can be diluted and saturated at the same time depending on the solubility of the solute.

Explanation:

A dilute solution is when the amount of solute is in a small amount of solvent, and a saturated solution occurs when the solvent contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a specific temperature.

These 2 concepts can occur at the same time depending on the solubility of the solute, for example a saturated solution of CaCO3 will be diluted because the compound is very poorly soluble in the solvent.
