  - Just  by trying , if this is all intranet home networking it will probably work,

>>> my laptop is connected to my mobile hotspot. <<<
this means your laptop is connected via the moblie network to the internet, this network is outside your router

>>> My pc is connected to router through ethernet port <<<
this suggests your router is probably performing NAT between your internal network and the public internet
1) you need to determine the public IP-address used by your router 
    NB! this address can change from time to time, as mostly this is issued dynamically by your provider using DHCP
    You must use this ip addres as ping destination
2) on your router you need to enable port-forwarding  from internet to PC to enable incoming connections
    read the manual of your router how to do this for ping (ICMP)
    You must include this port in your ping command also
3) on your PC in the windows firewall you need to allow ping incoming from other subnets than the local subnet
