Solution

The correct option is A Ethanol + Acetone
In positive deviation from Raoult's Law, the resulting solution has more vapour pressure than the ideal solution of the constituent liquids.

This is because the AB interactions are weaker than AA & BB ones.

Because there is hydrogen bonding present in the ethyl alcohol solution and acetone molecules tend to occupy the space between them due to which some hydrogen bonds breaks, results in weaking of AB interaction.
  • Chloroethane + Bromoethane forms ideal solution
  • Benzene + Toluene forms ideal solution
  • Acetone + chloroform shows negative deviation from Raoult's law
Option (a) is correct.
