As we learnt in

Mathematical Expression of Depression in Freezing point -

\Delta T_{f}= K_{f}\: m
 

- wherein

m = molarity of solvent 

K_{f} = cryoscopic  constant

    molal depress const

Units = \frac{K-K_{g}}{mole}

 

 \Delta T_{f}=K_{f}\times m

6=1.86\times\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{4}

Moles of solute =\frac{6\times 4}{1.86}=12.9\ mole

Mass of solute  = Moles of solute \times Molar Mass

    =12.9\times 62=800

Correct option is 1.
