In a binary solution of $A$ and $B$,the vapor pressure of pure $A$ is less than the vapor pressure of pure $B$. If $X_A$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the liquid phase and $Y_A$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the vapor phase,then ..........

  • A
    $X_A = Y_A$
  • B
    $X_A > Y_A$
  • C
    $X_A < Y_A$
  • D

Assertion $(A)$: The vapour pressure of $0.1 \ M$ sugar solution is less than that of $0.1 \ M$ $KCl$ solution.
Reason $(R)$: Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the number of particles of non-volatile solute present in the solution.
The correct answer is
