Detailed Solution

According to Raoult's law,the partial pressure of a component of solution is equal to its  mole fraction in the solution multiplied by its vapour pressure in pure state.

Hence,PA=PAo XA ......(1) According to Dalton's law,the partial pressure of a component of a gas is, PA= PT YA .....(2)  

From 1 and 2

PAoXA=PT.YA

But ,PAo > PT Hence,XA< YA
