Solution

The correct option is A 176
The elevation in the boiling point ΔTb=101.24100=1.24oC
ΔTb=Kbm
1.24=0.512m
m=2.422
Here m is the molality
The molality of the solution m=mass of solutemolar mass of solute×mass of solvent (in kg)=288M×0.090
The molar mass of solute M=1321g/mol
From molecular formula CxH2xOx the molar mass is 12x+2x+16x=30x
Hence, 30x=1321
x=44
Hence, x+2x+x=4x=4(44)=176
