At a given temperature,the vapour pressure of a solution of two volatile liquids $A$ and $B$ is given by the equation $P_S = 120 - 80 \, X_B$ (where $X_B$ is the mole fraction of $B$). The vapour pressures of pure $A$ and $B$ at the same temperature are respectively:

  • A
    $120, \, 80$
  • B
    $120, \, 200$
  • C
    $120, \, 40$
  • D
    $80, \, 40$
