Detailed Solution

 Reaction is:   CH3OH+CH3COOHCH3COOCH3 in H2SO4 presence

Initial moles:  2 mol + 2 mol                         

Moles at equilibrium: (2-x)mol+(2-x)molxmol+xmol

Conc. at equilibrium: (2-x)/V+(2-x)/Vx/V+ x/V

Kc=[CH3COOCH3][H2O]/[CH3OH][CH3COOH]=(x/V)(x/V)/[(2-x)/V][(2-x)/V]=4

x2/(2-x)2=4;x2=4(2-x)2;x=2(2-x);3x=4;x=4/3

therefore, no. of moles of CH3COOCH3 at equilibrium= 4/3 , since molar mass of ester is 74 g/mol1mole of ester = 74g, then 4/3 moles of ester contains = (74)4/3 =98.6g ≈98.4g                                                 

Hence, the correct option A is i.e., 98.4
