The correct answer is: $186 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{M}_2 & =\frac{1000 \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{W}_2}{\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{W}_1} \\ & =\frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 15}{0.75 \times 200} \\ & =186 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\end{aligned}$
