Detailed Solution

Vapour pressure of solution containing non volatile solute is always less than that of solvent.This is due to decrease in chemical potential when solute is added to solvent to prepare solution. Gap ab represents elevation in boiling point because points ‘’a'' and ‘’b'' represents boiling point of solvent and solution respectively. when solute is added to solvent boiling point increases.
