The correct answer is: 9
XsoluteXsolvent=0.10.9=19

WsoluteWsolvent×MsolventMsolute=19 ...(i)

Wsolute+Wsolvent=Wsolution=density×volume

Wsolute+Wsolvent=2×V ...(ii)

Molarity = molality

nsoluteVsolution=nsoluteWsolvent

Wsolvent=Vsolution=Wsolute+Wsolvent2

2Wsolvent=Wsolute+Wsolvent

Wsolute=Wsolvent ...(iii)

Using equation (i) and (iii), we get

MsoluteMsolvent=9
