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 2PAoXA=PT.YABut ,PAo > PT Hence,XA< YA
