Solution:

Let mass of water initially present $= x gm$
$\Rightarrow $ Mass of sucrose $=(1000- x ) gm$
$\Rightarrow $ moles of sucrose $=\left(\frac{1000- x }{342}\right)$
$\Rightarrow 0.75=\frac{\left(\frac{1000- x }{342}\right)}{\left(\frac{ x }{1000}\right)} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{ x }{1000}=\frac{1000- x }{342 \times 0.75}$
$\Rightarrow 256.5 x =10^{6}-1000 x$
$\Rightarrow x =795.86\, gm$
$\Rightarrow $ moles of sucrose $=0.5969$
New mass of $H _{2} O = a \,kg$
$\Rightarrow 4=\frac{0.5969}{a} \times 1.86 $
$\Rightarrow a=0.2775\,kg$
$\Rightarrow $ ice separated $=(795.86-277.5)$
$=518.3 \,gm$
