if 0.15 g of a solute is dissolved in 15 g of solvent , is boiled at a temperature higher by 0.216 celcius, than that of pure solvent . the molecular weight of substance ( molal elevation const=2.16 celcius)

Given: Elevation in boiling point, ∆Tb = 0.2160C
Mass of solute = 0.15 g
Mass of solvent = 15 g
You have not mention the wrong unit of molal elevation constant. Unit is K Kg mol-1
Molal Elevation constant = 0.216 K kg mol-1
​As we know 
∆Tb = Kb m
where m is the molality.

Molality = w2×1000M2×w1
where w2 is the mass of solute, M2 is the molar mass of solute and w1 is the mass of solvent.
 
0.216 = 0.216×0.15×1000M2×15M2 = 10 g mol-1
Molar mass of solute = 10 g mol-1
