    Solution:

    Concept-  According to Raoult's law, a solvent's partial vapour pressure in a solution (or mixture) is equal to or the same as the pure solvent's vapour pressure times the mole fraction present in the solution.
    Raoult's law equation is expressed mathematically as;
    Where,
    Solution = vapour pressure of the solution
    Χsolvent  = mole fraction of the solvent
    P 0 solvent is equal to the pure solvent's vapour pressure.
    By Raoult’s law,
    But A is a non-volatile solute
    So Hence, the correct answer is option 3).
