Solution

The correct option is D 106 g/mol
The molecular weight of the solute is given by the expression
M2=KbW2ΔTbW1 where

M2 is the molecular weight of solute, Kb is the molal boiling point constant of the solvent,
W2 is mass of solute, W1 is mass of solvent and ΔTb is the elevation in the boiling point.

Substitute values in the above expression.
M2=2.11×10.60.284×740=0.106 kg/mol=106 g/mol
