\mathrm{\text{wt.of solute }=1.80\, \mathrm{g}}
\mathrm{\text{val.of solvent }=62.5\, \mathrm{ml}}
\mathrm{\text{density of solvent} =0.8 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{ml}}
\mathrm{\text{weight of solvent} =d \times v=50 \mathrm{~g}}
\mathrm{\text{Depression constant }= \left ( k_{f} \right )= 2\, k\, kg\, mol^{-1}}
\mathrm{\text{Depression in freezing point }= 0.9\, k}

\mathrm{\Delta t_{f} =k_{f} \times \frac{\text { wt.of solute } \times 1000}{\text { molar mass of solute } \times wt .of \text { solvent }(g)} }
\mathrm{0.9 =\frac{2 \mathrm{k} \, \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{mol} \times 1.8 \mathrm{~g} \times 1000}{m \times 50 \mathrm{~g}} }
\mathrm{m =\frac{2 \times 1.8 \times 1000}{0.8\times 50}g/mol }
     \mathrm{ =80g/mol }

Hence answer is (80).
