Solution

The correct option is C $P_{B}^{o} = 450 P_{T}^{o} = 350$
$P_{T}^{o}$ and $P_{B}^{o}$ = vapour pressure of pure toluene and pure benzene respectively.
$P = P_{B}^{o} X_{B} + P_{T}^{o} X_{T}$
$= P_{B}^{o} (1 - X_{T}) + P_{T}^{o} X_{T}$
$= P_{B}^{o} - P_{B}^{o} X_{T} + P_{T}^{o} X_{T}$
$= P_{B}^{o} + (P_{T}^{o} - P_{B}^{o}) X_{T} - - - - - (1)$
$P = 450 - 100 X - - - - - (2)$
Comparing both equations
$= P_{B}^{o} = 450$
$= P_{T}^{o} - 450 = - 100$
$P_{T}^{o} = 350$
