The correct answer is: 314

Let Vapour pressure of pure A be PAo

Let Vapour pressure of pure B be PBo

Using Raoult's law and Dalton's law:

When XA  = 0.7 & XB  = 0.3Ps = 350 PAo ×0.7 + PBo ×0.3 = 350    ....(i)When XA  = 0.2 & XB = 0.8 Ps = 410 PAo ×0.7 + PBo ×0.3 = 350 ....(ii)Solving (i) and (ii)PAo = 314 mm HgPBo = 434 mm Hg
