Solution

The correct option is D 1.134, 1.193
The molar masses of NaOH and water are 40 g/mol and 18 g/mol respectively.

Assume, total number of moles of NaOH and water is 1.
The mole fraction of water =10.02=0.98

0.02 moles of NaOH corresponds to 0.02×40=0.8 g.

The number of moles of water is 0.98.
The mass of water =0.98×18=17.64 g.
Total mass of the solution =17.64+0.8=18.44g.

The density of the solution is 1.1 kg/dm3 or 1.1 g/mL.
The volume of the solution =18.441.1=16.76 mL.
The molarity of the solution is the number of moles of NaOH present in 1 L of solution.
The molarity of the solution =0.0216.761000=1.193M
The molality of the solution is the number of moles of NaOH present in 1 kg of water.
The molality of the solution =0.0217.641000=1.134M
