Detailed Solution

We know that Depression in freezing point is given by the relation:

ΔTf=i×kf×m

ΔTf= Depression in freezing point

i= Van'T Hoff factor

kf= freezing point constant

m= molality

Here, depression in freezing point is determined by Van't Hoff factor as molality is same for all solutions.

So,

1. For 0.01m urea

i=1  as it is a non-electrolyte and does not dissociate.

2. For 0.01m NaCl

NaClNa++Cl-

i=2  as it is an electrolyte and dissociate to give 2 ions.

3. For  0.01m  Na2SO4

Na2SO42Na++SO42-

i=3  as it is an electrolyte and dissociate to give 3 ions.

 As Van't Hoff factor for urea:NaCl:Na2SO4 is in the ratio of 1: 2: 3.

Thus, the depression in the freezing point will have also the ratio of 1: 2: 3.

Hence, option(b) is correct.
