The correct answer is:

According to Raoult's law,



p=p0χ



According to Dalton's law of partial pressure,



pT=px+py



pT=p0x+p0y



=p0x+py01-χx



pT=p0Y+p0x-p0yχx



Thus, total vapour pressure of solution varies linearly with mole fraction of component X.



Case I, at χX=0



pT=p0Y



Case II, at XX=1



pT=p0Y+p0X-p0Y



pT=pX0
