as 0.2 moles of agcl is produced it means Chlorine obtained from nacl was also 0.2 moles. this implies 0.2 moles of nacl were present in the impure solution. molesXatomic weight(nacl)= MASS of NaCl present in impure substance.

my ans is 58.5. a little error in decimal places does not matters much as in exam options are not kept that close. so 58.5 is correct.

sory corect answer is 58.5 you can approach it by writting the balance chemical eqn {1 mol agcl will be produced by one mol of nacl} so 28.7g of agcl ie;0.2 mol will be produced by 0.2 mol of nacl 
now 0.2 mol nacl is equal to 11.7 gm of nacl . hence % purity =(11.7/20)*100=58.5%
