Detailed Solution

The solute content in the solution directly relates to the increase in boiling point (Tb).It can be calculated using the equation below. 

Tb=Kb-m, where Tb is 0.2 (elevation in B.P), Kb=0.52(constant) and m is molality.

m=Tb/Kb=0.26/0.52 =0.5mole/kg

 In 1000 g of solvent, there will be 0.5 moles of solute in 1000 g of water, which is the definition of molality. 

Tb=Kb×WsMs×1000Wo TbKb=0.5=Ws150×10001000

thus ws=75

percentage composition=  75×1001000=7.5%

Hence, the correct option (C).
