Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} X_{B} = 0.1 = \frac{n_{B}}{n_{A} + n_{B}} \\ n_{B} = 0.1, n_{A} = 0.9 \\ m = M \Rightarrow 1000 ml \Rightarrow 2000 g \\ \Rightarrow 1000 g of solute + 1000 g of solvent \\ X_{B} = 0.1 = \frac{\frac{1000}{M_{B}}}{\frac{1000}{M_{A}} + \frac{1000}{M_{B}}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{100}{M_{A}} + \frac{100}{M_{B}} = \frac{1000}{M_{B}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{M_{A}} + \frac{1}{M_{B}} = \frac{10}{M_{B}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{M_{A}} = \frac{9}{M_{B}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}} = 9 \end{array}$
