The correct answer is: 188.88 torr
p Total = p A X A + p B X B

          = 1 0 0 × 1 5 + 2 0 0 × 4 5

          = 2 0 + 1 6 0 = 1 8 0

(Vapours are condensed and again brought in equilibrium with vapours).

i.e for distillate

yA → to be replaced by xA

yB → to be replaced by xB.

y A = p A o x A p T = 2 0 1 8 0

y B = p B o x B p T = 1 6 0 1 8 0

P distillate = 1 0 0 × 2 0 1 8 0 + 2 0 0 × 1 6 0 1 8 0

                   = 188.88
