It is given that 2\% of aq. solution. This means 2 g of non-volatile solute in 98 g of H2O.

Also the vapour of water at normal boiling point = 1.013 bar.

Using Raoult's law :

                                      \frac{p_w^{\circ} - p}{p_w^{\circ}} = \frac{w_2.M_1}{w_1.M_2}

So we get :

                                      M_2 = \frac{2\times18\times1.013}{0.009\times98} = 41.35\ g\ mol^{-1}

Thus the molar mass of non-volatile solute is 41.35 unit.
