Which one of the following statements is false?

$A$ liquid freezes at $7^{\circ} C$ and boils at $77^{\circ} C$. If $K_{f}$ and $K_{b}$ values for the liquid are $5.6$ and $2.5 \ ^{\circ} C \ kg \ mol^{-1}$ respectively,then the ratio of latent heat of vaporisation of the liquid to the latent heat of fusion is $:-$

Select the correct statement for an ideal solution of a non-volatile solute in a liquid solvent.

At $T \ K$,the vapour pressure of pure benzene $(C_6H_6)$ and toluene $(C_7H_8)$ are $75 \ mm \ Hg$ and $22 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively. $23.4 \ g$ of benzene and $64.4 \ g$ of toluene are mixed to form an ideal solution. If the vapours are in equilibrium with the liquid mixture,the mole fraction of toluene in the vapour phase is (Atomic weight: $C=12, H=1$).

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 concentration of solute is much lower than the concentration of solvent,the vapour pressure ($mm$ of $Hg$) of the solution is (take $K_{b}=0.76 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)
