Detailed Solution

Total vapor pressure of the methanol and ethanol mixture:

P=119x+135...(1)

Expression is: 

P=PA0xA+PB0(1xA)

PA°=vapour pressure of pure methanol xA=mole fraction of methanol PB°=vapour pressure of pure ethanol

P=PA0xA+PB0PB0xA

P=PB0+(PA0PB0)xA...(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

PB0=135   ;PA0PB0=119
