Solution

The correct option is A $0.744$
For ideal solution:

$P = p_{A}^{o} \times x_{A} + p_{B}^{o} \times x_{B}$

$1.013 = 0.742 \times x_{T o l u e n e} + 1.8 \times x_{B e n z e n e}$

$1.013 = 0.742 \times x_{T o l u e n e} + 1.8 \times (1 - x_{T o l u e n e})$

Solving we get,

$x_{T o l u e n e} = 0.744$
