In a binary ideal solution of liquids $A$ and $B$ at a constant temperature,the mole fraction of $A$ in the liquid phase is $0.7$ and in the vapor phase is $0.4$. If $P_A^o + P_B^o = 90 \, mm$,then the vapor pressures of pure liquids $A$ and $B$ at that temperature are respectively:

  • A
    $40 \, mm$ and $50 \, mm$
  • B
    $30 \, mm$ and $60 \, mm$
  • C
    $50 \, mm$ and $40 \, mm$
  • D
    $20 \, mm$ and $70 \, mm$
