Solution

The correct option is C 69.40
According to Raoults law:
$\Rightarrow \frac{n_{s o l u t e}}{n_{s o l v e n t}} = \frac{P_{s o l v e n t}^{\circ} - P_{s o l u t i o n}}{P_{s o l u t i o n}}$
$\frac{P_{0} - P_{s}}{P_{0}} = \frac{w \times M}{m \times W}$
w=mass of solute
W=mass of solvent
m= molar mass of solute
M= molar mass of solvent

$\frac{640 - 600}{640} = \frac{2.175 \times 78}{m \times 39.08}$

(M for $C_{6} H_{6} = 78)$

$m = \frac{2.175 \times 78 \times 640}{40 \times 39.08}$
$= 69.45 \approx = 69.4$
