Solution

The correct option is D 752.4
At 100oC, the vapour pressure of water,
P0=760 mm Hg = atmospheric pressure.

The molar masses of glucose and water are 180 g/mol and 18 g/mol respectively.

Number of moles of glucose =18180=0.1

Number of moles of water =18018=10

Mole fraction of glucose X=0.110+0.1=0.0099

Let P mm be the vapour pressure of solution
PoPPo=X

760P760=0.0099

760P=7.524

P=752.4 mm Hg
