Given -

\mathrm{V= 22.78\, ml,T= 280K}
\mathrm{P_{Total}= 759\, mm\, Hg}
\mathrm{R= 0.082\, L\, atm\, K^{-1}mol^{-1}}

\mathrm{P_{N2}= P_{Total}-P_{Water}}
          \mathrm{= 759-14.2= 744.8\, mm\, Hg}


 \mathrm{PV= nRT\Rightarrow \eta _{N2}= \frac{744.8\times 22.78}{0.082\times 1000\times 760\times 280}= 0.00097}

\mathrm{W_{Nitrogen}= \eta _{N2}\times M_{N2}= \eta _{N2}\times 14}
                    = 0.00097\times 14= 0.02716

\mathrm{%N= \frac{0.02716}{0.125}\times 100= 21.728}

Hence answer is 22
