On multiplying eq 1 by 4 & eq 2 by 2 and adding all the equations.

\begin{aligned} 4 \mathrm{NaI}+4 \mathrm{AgNO}_3+2 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{NaNO}_3+4 \mathrm{Ag} & +2 \mathrm{FeCl_{3}} +2 \mathrm{I}_2 \\ \end{aligned}

As per the equation, 

Moles of

 \begin{aligned} \text{I}_{2}& =\frac{127.5 \times 10^3}{254} \\ \\& =0.5 \times 10^3 \\ \\& =5 \times 10^2 \end{aligned}

To produce 2 moles of \mathrm{I_{2}}\rightarrow 4 moles of \mathrm{AgNO_{3}} is used 

For 5 \times 10^{2} moles \mathrm{I_2=\frac{4}{2} \times 5 \times 10^2}

                                      10^{3} mole \mathrm{AgNO_{3}} is required.

Required mass of \mathrm{AgNO_{3}} \mathrm{=n \times M_{AgNO_{3}}}

                                              =10^{3}\times 170
