Solution

The correct option is C $12 g / L$
Isotonic solutions are those that have the same osmotic pressure.
Osmotic pressure, $π = C R T$
So here, both the solutions should have the same concentration.
Let, $x$ gm of glucose present in 1 litre solution.
So, according to the question,
$\frac{x}{180} = \frac{4}{60}$
$⟹ x = 12 g / L$
