We have given, density of solution = 1.12g/ml

Therefore, total volume of solution = \frac{total weight\: of solutions}{density}

 

= \frac{\left ( 1000+120 \right )g}{1.12 g mL^{-1}} = 1 L

 

Now, total moles of solute  = \frac{120}{60} =2

Molarity is given as 
Molarity = (Moles of solute) / volume (L)
Thus, moles = 2 and volume = 1L

Therefore, molarity = 2 / 1

                            = 2M

Therefore, Option (2) is correct
