Which of the following mixtures is known as Proof Spirit (by volume)?

Statement $1$: The cold pack used by athletes to treat injuries on the field works by dissolving a solute in water,which causes the temperature to decrease. Statement $2$: Adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent decreases its freezing point.

$A$ solution of urea (molar mass $60 \, g \, mol^{-1}$) boils at $100.18 \, ^oC$ at atmospheric pressure. If $K_f$ and $K_b$ for water are $1.86$ and $0.512 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$ respectively,the above solution will freeze at ........... $^oC$.

The elevation in boiling point for $1 \ m$ solution of non-volatile solute $A$ is $3 \ K$. The depression in freezing point for $2 \ m$ solution of $A$ in the same solvent is $6 \ K$. The ratio of $K_{b}$ and $K_{f}$ i.e.,$K_{b} / K_{f}$ is $1 : X$. The value of $X$ is [nearest integer].

For a dilute solution containing $2.5 \ g$ of a non-volatile non-electrolyte solute in $100 \ g$ of water,the elevation in boiling point at $1 \ atm$ pressure is $2 \ ^\circ C$. Assuming the amount of solute is much lower than the amount of solvent,the vapour pressure $(mm \ Hg)$ of the solution is: (take $K_b = 0.76 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)
