Detailed Solution

We know that,

In the liquid phase,

Mole fraction of a component A=x2

Now, By Raoult's Law

PA=pA0x2

In the Vapour phase,

Vapour pressure of pure ApA0

Mole fraction of a component A =  x1

Mole fraction of A in Vapour phase=PAPtotal

x1=PAPt=pA0x2Pt

Therefore,

Pt=pA0x2x1

Hence, option(b) is the correct answer.
