Hello Dude
To determine solubility we should remeber the rule of like dissolve like .
Since NaCl is polar in aqeous solution and Water is also polar so both dissolve each other.
But CCl4 posses zero dipole moment hence non polar so NaCl is insoluble in it.

Answer:
CCl4 is also a Carbon Tetra Chloride and has a nonpolar covalent molecule. Water has a polar covalent molecule. Because of this CCl4 does not mix with water. NaCl or Table Salt is a ionic molecule that has one Cation from the Sodium and one anion from the Chloride. The bond of NaCl when added to water dissolves in water becoming free from the NaCl bond becoming polar.
