Detailed Solution

When the last droplet of liquid is vapourized, the composition of vapour formed will be yA=0.60 (given composition of the liquid solution).

Hence, yA=pAp=xApAxApA+xBpB=xApApB+pApBxA

i.e.  0.60=xA(300 Torr )800 Torr +(300 Torr 800 Torr )xA

Solving for xA, we get xA=0.80.

The pressure of the vapour will be p=xApA+xBpB=(0.80)(300 Torr )+(0.20)(800 Torr )=400 Torr
