Which aqueous solution has the lowest freezing point?

The normal freezing point $(f.p.)$ of nitrobenzene is $278.82 \ K$. If a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it and a solution of $0.25 \ molality$ is prepared,the observed freezing point of the solution is $276.82 \ K$. Evaluate the cryoscopic constant $(K_f)$ of nitrobenzene in $K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
